| 36 | A frequent inference runs: the supplier is a registered company, therefore its material is regulated. It does not follow. A business registration is a licensing fact — it establishes that an entity exists, has a registered address, and has declared a scope of business.{{r|registry}} It says nothing about quality systems, and a declared business scope that includes chemical manufacture is a permission to trade rather than an assurance about output. | 36 | A frequent inference runs: the supplier is a registered company, therefore its material is regulated.

| + | 38 | The same distinction applies to certifications a seller may cite in its own material. A quality-system claim is not a fact until it has been assessed against the applicable framework by somebody empowered to assess it, and a testing laboratory's competence is a matter of accreditation to a recognised standard rather than of self-description.{{r|gmp,iso17025}} Where this wiki repeats such a claim, it attributes it to the organisation's own material and says that it has not been corroborated. | |

| + | 40 | === The gap the label creates === | |
| + | 41 | Because no authority assesses the material, every assurance a purchaser has originates inside the supply chain that produced it. A [[Certificate of analysis|certificate]] is issued by the seller; an independent report is commissioned by the purchaser on a sample the purchaser chose; a community tally aggregates whoever chose to submit. See [[Blind sampling]] for why none of these is a sample of anything. | |

| + | 43 | This is not an argument that the material is bad. It is an argument that the ordinary reasons for believing a medicine is what it says it is do not apply, and that a purchaser who wants a comparable degree of confidence has to construct it from documents — which is why the documentation sections of this wiki are as long as they are.{{r|reports}} | |
