Overview
What moved, and what it was
Inspectors gauge, sample and seal at the custody point, then hand the samples straight to the laboratory on the same site. No courier, no gap in the chain.
Every figure on a certificate traces back to a gauge reading, a temperature and a calibrated table that you can ask to see.
