Highlights from this day
  • knees_first — does TFC being verified mean my vial is fine 20:50
  • knees_first — we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry verification has never been for sale and never will be.… 21:04
  • VialBot — Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 86 awaiting dispatch. 21:21
  • luerlok — update from 3 months ago: QST added evidence and the entry now reflects it 22:09

if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score, i could be wrong

KF

for the archive nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

VV

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

KF

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

does TFC being verified mean my vial is fine

we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

NF

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

NF

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

KF

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

VB

Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 86 awaiting dispatch.

how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing

VL

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier

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

nothing gets deleted

TE

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, for what its worth

KF

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

CO

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, not advice obviously

revoked stays in the log

LU

coming back to this what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves

LU

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

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

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log, your mileage will differ

TE

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

unrelated but two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log

LU

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

thats not evidence
