Highlights from this day
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
post the photos

lot number or nothing
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
update on the earlier thing does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
| 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 |
pattern not one result

both numbers go in
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
⚠️15
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
thats not evidence
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
genuine question a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division, still working it out

slightly off topic but is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation

thats evidence

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
nothing gets deleted
| Evidence | Counts? |

| Independent report, lot you bought, lot number legible | yes |
| Independent report, no lot number | no |

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier

revoked stays in the log
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
update on the earlier thing do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
blinded is better

how does a supplier get verification revoked
not a recommendation
who decides, the mods or the room
