Highlights from this day
  • tenpence — is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation 20:33
  • vial_ledger — verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, happy to be corrected 20:40
  • food_noise_off — for the archive a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, thats one data point 21:58

coming back to this the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division, we shall see

slightly off topic but what actually counts as evidence for a verification
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log

a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, ymmv

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

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count

pattern not one result

thin evidence

VL

the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not

TE

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs, happy to be corrected

VL

sorry to jump in update from 19 months ago: QYB added evidence and the entry now reflects it

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, happy to be corrected

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

MS

genuine question if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

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

FN

for the archive a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, thats one data point

MS

genuine question we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry, still working it out

MO

follow up has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation

coming back after 12 months, has the standard changed
