Highlights from this day
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
🔥1🧊1✅3
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

thats evidence
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
Batch lookup A-2418: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-08-30.
how does a supplier get verification revoked
thin evidence
pattern not one result
[edited]a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
never for sale
[edited]a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation
[edited]quick one we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
revoked stays in the log
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
post the photos
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
update from 8 months ago: CPC added evidence and the entry now reflects it

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
😂13✅8
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
lot number or nothing
does SGN being verified mean my vial is fine
🙏14🤝1📈1
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
nothing gets deleted
log it either way
sorry to jump in if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
does a good result from Janoshik outweigh a bad one from Medutest
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine, i could be wrong
