In Kenya, the Weights and Measures Rules consider a quantity declaration valid only if two conditions are met for tested samples: the pack must not be deficient by more than the set tolerance (10% for bottles up to 250 ml or 250 g, or 3% for larger quantities) and the sample average must meet or exceed the marked quantity (OIML R 87:2016).
