Bureau Veritas Kenya proudly commemorated the momentous launch of the Yana Oil Laboratory, a cutting-edge facility managed and operated under its esteemed umbrella. With a dedication to excellence and innovation, the celebration marked a significant milestone in the country's oil and gas sector. The event showcased the state-of-the-art technology and advanced testing capabilities housed within the Yana Laboratory, promising to set new standards for quality assurance and safety in the industry.
This significant development is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the highest standards of quality assurance in regions impacted by the prevalence of counterfeit and substandard engine oils.
The engine oil market in Kenya has faced numerous challenges with the circulation of fake and inferior products, leading to frequent legal and regulatory interventions. This persistent issue highlighted the crucial need for stringent quality checks and balances, paving the way for reputable independent quality assurance providers like Bureau Veritas to step in and make an impactful difference.
Our partnership with Yana Oil is a strategic alignment that combines our global expertise in testing, inspection, and certification with their well-established market presence.

This integration will facilitate the swift interpretation of test results, enabling our team to make informed decisions promptly, ensuring a quick turnaround time that meets the dynamic needs of the market.
"I am delighted about this partnership which marks a significant advancement for our support to the Oil & Petrochemical sector in East Africa," said Bertrand Martin, Senior Vice President of Bureau Veritas Africa. "This initiative underscores our dedication to upholding the highest standards of safety, quality, and sustainability in the industry."
Cyprian Kabbis, District Chief Executive at Bureau Veritas East Africa, emphasized, "Taking control of the Yana Oil Lubricants Laboratory allows us to raise industry standards and guarantees that all products adhere to the most rigorous quality requirements."
This new partnership is set to revolutionise quality assurance in the oil industry by delivering precise and reliable testing services that effectively address the challenges posed by substandard products in the market.
The establishment of this laboratory represents a critical step forward in fostering a more transparent and accountable industry landscape. By setting new benchmarks for quality and integrity, we aim to inspire other market players to elevate their operational practices.
Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the expansion of our services and capabilities, which will further enhance our ability to serve the industry and contribute to its overall development in Kenya and beyond.
