FOUR HARD STOPS

Stop if one of these is true. A certificate that fails one of these tests is not evidence.

  • The lot number on the vial does not agree with the certificate.
  • The certificate shows no name for the laboratory.
  • The certificate shows no chromatogram.
  • The certificate shows no mass spectrum.

The checklist is the short form. Read the full guide for the reasoning behind each check, or see how we score vendors.
