Asset tagging guides

Start with the complete guide to asset tagging in Kenya. It covers what to tag, numbering, material choice, method choice, placement, planning and budgeting in one place, and links out to every comparison guide and product page where you need more depth.

No. They explain the decisions and the trade-offs so a quotation makes sense when you receive it. Actual pricing depends on your asset count, tag material, size and location, so you still need to give us those specifics before we can quote accurately.

Specific to Kenya. Where legal or standards references are relevant we cite the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, National Treasury guidance and IPSAS or IFRS as they actually apply here, rather than generic international content that does not match local procurement practice.

Yes, the register template guide and the numbering guide are both useful for tidying up an existing register, and the tender checklist guide is relevant if you are about to procure a tagging supplier rather than start from zero.

No, those two are gated resources, we ask for basic contact details before releasing them, because they are longer documents built for direct use rather than a page you skim. Everything else on this site is open. We ask for a name, organisation and email address only, no phone number required, and the documents arrive by email within minutes, ready to use in your own numbering and depreciation workflow.

They explain the trade-offs honestly, including where an in-house approach or a different material suits you better than what we usually recommend. We would rather you make the right call for your assets than order tags that do not fit your environment.

The complete guide and the comparison guides use our published price list, so you can work out indicative costs yourself. For an exact figure covering your quantities, sizes and any on-site service, use our pricing page or request a quotation.

Yes. The tagging, material and numbering guidance applies equally to private companies reporting under IFRS and public entities reporting under IPSAS; only the compliance guide sections differ by sector. Material choice, numbering conventions and fixing methods depend on your assets and environment, not on which accounting framework you report under, so a private manufacturer and a county government facing similar plant will usually end up with a similar tagging specification.

We update them when our price list, product range or the underlying Treasury guidance changes. If you spot something that looks out of date, contact us and we will check it against the current position before you rely on it.
