Kenya regulates electronics for quality

When Kenya files a rule touching consumer electronics, the objective it states most often is quality requirements: 61% of 71 filings that state any objective. Next is harmonisation and trade facilitation at 55%. The objective is the filer’s own, from the WTO’s fixed vocabulary; a filing can state several.

Quality objectives are answered by conforming to a standard, which usually means paying a certification body.

Structure

This entry is wrong if

Recomputing stated objectives over this market’s WTO filings in this industry returns a different leading objective, or the same one outside 56% to 66%.
