Highlights from this day

step_one_sian — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 22:32
blind_submit — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises 22:34
blind_submit — if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution 22:43
blind_submit — genuine question what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine 23:15
tenpence — update from 12 months ago: BCH added evidence and the entry now reflects it 23:38

thin evidence

we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry

for the archive how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor

coming back to this is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

thats evidence

refresh on evidence

a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises

if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more

sorry to jump in a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

genuine question what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
