sorry to jump in update from 19 months ago: TFC added evidence and the entry now reflects it

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

*Medutest not the other one

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

*PeptideMeter not the other one

RW

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

MM

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

FA

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

FA

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier

does KP being verified mean my vial is fine

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count

pattern not one result

FA

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log

QH

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

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

FA

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