*that should say weekly

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
ok so somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
