if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
update from 13 months ago: QSC added evidence and the entry now reflects it, still working it out
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
lot number or nothing
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
who decides, the mods or the room
how many independent results does a supplier need
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, i have it written down somewhere
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
right so a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
