- impersonator_ip — update from 20 months ago: WXT added evidence and the entry now reflects it 12:06
- per_mg_pete — verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, i think 13:22
- per_mg_pete — if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score 13:49
- per_mg_pete — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 13:50
- chaser_chris — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 14:02
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, i think
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
genuine question the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
[edited]the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, ask me again in a month
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
