Powering Trust: KENAS Champions Accredited Testing in Kenya’s Energy Sector

Every flame that lights a home or fuels an industry begins with trust — trust in quality, safety, and competence.

During a visit to Africa Gas and Oil Limited (AGOL), Ms. Felista Nyakoe, Manager – Testing Laboratories, and Ms. Doris Mueni Mengo, Manager – Medical Laboratories at the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS), underscored the vital role of accredited testing in ensuring safety and reliability within Kenya’s growing oil and gas sector.

KENAS has accredited AGOL in the field of Chemistry for physical tests of LPG and LPG vapor, confirming that its laboratory operates in full compliance with internationally recognized standards.

💡 What this means:

• For households and consumers: safer, more reliable cooking gas.
• For industry and regulators: assurance of compliance, safety, and quality.
• For Kenya’s economy: a stronger, more competitive energy sector powered responsibly.

“Accreditation ensures that the energy sector not only powers the nation but also protects its people by guaranteeing safe, reliable, and trusted products.”
— Ms. Felista Nyakoe, Manager, Testing Laboratories, KENAS

AGOL’s accreditation marks a milestone in Kenya’s energy journey, reinforcing how accreditation bridges innovation and public safety — ensuring that every product, every test, and every standard contributes to a safer and more sustainable future.
