#vendor-verification 2025-08-09

who decides, the mods or the room

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division, ask me again in a month

how does a supplier get verification revoked

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

coming back to this the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now

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

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

lot number or nothing

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

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

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

how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern

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

update from 13 months ago: SGN added evidence and the entry now reflects it
