Kenya Standard KS 2937:2021 specifies general safety requirements for cosmetic products without a specific Kenya product standard. The standard states heavy metal limits for lead, arsenic, and mercury in finished cosmetic products in mg/kg and identifies KS EAS 847-16 as the test method. It also includes a combined total-heavy-metals note for lead, mercury, and arsenic, which is recorded as a partial gap because the register stores single-species rows. The standard is positioned for product certification, inspection, market surveillance, and trade facilitation.
