How membership works
Membership gives buyers an independent testing record for your business. Verified means enrolled in random blind-purchase testing. Your results, pass or fail, are what buyers judge you on.
1. Enrollment
Send your company details through the Join form. We follow up to discuss participation. Membership begins once the participation agreement is signed.
2. Verified from enrollment
Members are Verified from enrollment and enter random blind-purchase testing right away. Your profile shows Verified with “No results yet” until your first random purchase is reported. Verified is not a statement that any product has passed.
3. Random testing
Source Standard randomly selects and buys an individual peptide product from your catalog, without advance notice. A pass requires the correct peptide and RP-HPLC area purity of 97.5% or higher. Results below that trigger corrective action or suspension under our testing standards.
4. Ongoing testing
Source Standard conducts a minimum of one independent, randomly selected product test per participating vendor annually, with additional testing conducted at our discretion. Every finalized, analytically valid result is published, pass or fail.
What you agree to
Independent purchases, unannounced product selection, laboratory testing, publication of every finalized result, and the corrective-action, suspension, and reinstatement rules in our testing standards.
