Highlights from this day
- dark_for_ten_days — verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently 09:52
- no_appetite_nia — follow up the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division 10:02
- relabel_watch — update from 14 months ago: TFC added evidence and the entry now reflects it 11:16
- no_appetite_nia — thats evidence, still working it out 12:26
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
post the photos
coming back to this what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score, from memory
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
sorry to jump in does QST being verified mean my vial is fine
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, i have it written down somewhere
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern, ask me again in a month
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
update from 14 months ago: TFC added evidence and the entry now reflects it
quick one what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, n of 1 obviously
[edited]a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, thats just me
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not, someone check my working
i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
log it either way
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
thats evidence, still working it out

a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
