a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel, ask me again in a month
*Janoshik not the other one
blinded is better
coming back to this do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
thats not evidence

lot number or nothing

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, someone check my working
slightly off topic but how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
sorry to jump in a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
not a recommendation

coming back after 19 months, has the standard changed

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

revoked stays in the log
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
thats evidence
how does a supplier get verification revoked
nothing gets deleted
coming back to this the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
refresh on evidence
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
log it either way
quick one nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
pattern not one result
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
both numbers go in
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
post the photos
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
Assay note: QSC lot A-2418 reported at 99.4% of label content.
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
thin evidence
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
unrelated but has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
pattern not one result
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
never for sale
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

log it either way
thats evidence
thats not evidence
