for the archive two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log

Highlights from this day
coming back after 16 months, has the standard changed
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all, your mileage will differ
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
*PeptideMeter not the other one
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
ok so we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
thats not evidence
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
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, for what its worth
right so do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, happy to be corrected
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
ok so what actually counts as evidence for a verification
update from 2 months ago: SSA added evidence and the entry now reflects it
thats evidence
log it either way

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