Consumers must check for retail licenses, safety caps, and company seals to avoid illegal gas refillers across Kenya.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has urged consumers across Kenya to purchase Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) strictly from authorized dealers. The regulatory advisory aims to protect households and businesses from illicit refilling operations operating within the energy retail market.
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) stated that licensed retailers are bound by law to display their retail license prominently at every operational site. This mandatory requirement helps consumers immediately verify whether a outlet complies with national safety standards before buying cooking gas.
In addition to confirming seller licenses, buyers are advised to inspect the physical condition of the container during delivery. Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) emphasized checking for a company seal and a safety cap provided directly by the brand owner.
A intact company seal serves as a primary marker of an authentic cylinder. Legitimate brand owners apply these seals after completing safety checks during refilling processes, ensuring the cylinder meets quality protocols before reaching consumer hands.
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) encouraged members of the public to report any incidents, accidents, or suspicious market practices directly to the regulator. Reports can be submitted via their official website or through their dedicated telephone helpline.
The public notice forms part of ongoing efforts by Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to enforce compliance, enhance consumer safety, and eliminate illegal gas cylinder refilling networks across Kenya. Consumers are urged to remain vigilant during every retail transaction.
