- tenpence — update from 25 months ago: WWB added evidence and the entry now reflects it, ask me again in a month 18:45

- retention_time — does KP being verified mean my vial is fine 20:38
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
how does a supplier get verification revoked
post the photos
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, someone check my working
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
update on the earlier thing the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

| Evidence | Counts? |
|---|---|
| Independent report, lot you bought, lot number legible | yes |
| Independent report, no lot number | no |
| Supplier certificate only | no |
| Screenshot of a report | no |
| Blinded pooled submission | yes, for the pool |
| A friend who said it was fine | no |
not a recommendation
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
blinded is better
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
quick one a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
how many independent results does a supplier need
update from 25 months ago: CPC added evidence and the entry now reflects it
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
ok so we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern, thats just me
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
does KP being verified mean my vial is fine
