#vendor-verification 2024-12-17

coming back after 26 months, has the standard changed

for the archive verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier, take that with a pinch of salt

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

is there a version of the log i can read chronologically

post the photos

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

Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days.

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

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

nothing gets deleted

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes, thats one data point

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

how does a supplier get verification revoked

has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation

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

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

how many independent results does a supplier need

Channel stats, last 30 days: 136 messages from 37 members.

follow up does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything

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

the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

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