#vendor-verification 2026-05-31

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

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

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

has anyone ever offered to pay for verification

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

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

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

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record

coming back to this verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, for what its worth

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

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

both numbers go in

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

blinded is better
