update from 5 months ago: FGP added evidence and the entry now reflects it
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
🙏1
thin evidence
is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation

what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
both numbers go in
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
how does a supplier get verification revoked
🙏4
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
pattern not one result
post the photos
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
nothing gets deleted
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
coming back after 22 months, has the standard changed
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel, for what its worth
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
not a recommendation
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry

unrelated but what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, not advice obviously
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

thats evidence
genuine question who decides, the mods or the room
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, from memory
