Thursday16 messages5 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • impersonator_ip — update from 20 months ago: WXT added evidence and the entry now reflects it 12:06
  • per_mg_pete — verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, i think 13:22
  • per_mg_pete — if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score 13:49
  • per_mg_pete — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 13:50
  • chaser_chris — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 14:02

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

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

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

II

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

PM

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

CC

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

PM

if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, ask me again in a month
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

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

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

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

SS

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

CC

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