A number is only worth the method behind it.
ZEIKKA runs the analysis and states what it measured, on a record that names the method behind every figure, cannot be quietly rewritten, and can be checked by someone who was not part of the transaction.
What we do, and what we are careful not to claim
We analyse the material we are sent and report what the analysis found. Every figure on a ZEIKKA certificate is a measurement we made, on a dated sample, by the method the certificate names. What that does not make it is a verdict on everything the sample came from, and the certificate says so on its face.
- It speaks for the sample, not the batch
- We measured what arrived. A certificate reports that sample on that date, and anyone showing you one as proof that a whole consignment matches it is overstating it. What covers a consignment is a sampling plan agreed before anything is sent.
- And it is a record, not only a result
- An identifier that resolves against ours, showing the figures, the method behind each one and the date the analysis was run.
- Why that is worth anything
- A result you cannot trace is a number somebody typed. This one names its method and its date, cannot be edited after publication — only superseded or revoked in public — and can be checked by anyone holding the document, without an account.
We do not ask you to trust the figures. We give you a record of who stood behind them, and when.

Six commitments, each with a mechanism behind it.
A principle that depends on good intentions is a preference. Every one of these is either printed on the certificate or enforced by the database, which is the only reason to believe any of them.
The certificate says where its figures came from
Every certificate names the method that produced each figure and the date it was run. A reader who does not know which method stands behind a number cannot weigh it, and a number without that is an assertion rather than a result.
We report what we measured
The values on a certificate are the values the run produced. Nothing is rounded towards a specification, and no line is filled in from a similar batch or a previous certificate. If a determination was not made on the sample we received, it does not appear.
An issued certificate is never quietly edited
A correction creates a new version and marks the previous one superseded. Both stay on record permanently. The database itself refuses to overwrite a published finding — this is not a policy that depends on everyone remembering it.
A revocation is published, not hidden
If a certificate should not be relied on, it is marked revoked with a stated reason and remains visible to anyone who verifies it. Deleting it would leave the holder of a printed copy with no way to find out.
Anyone can check a certificate, not just the customer
Verification requires no account. A document that only its buyer can confirm is a claim, not a record — the point is that a third party can check what we hold without asking permission from the party being certified.
A certificate reports a measurement, not a verdict on the material
It states what we measured, on which sample, by which method and on what date. It speaks for the sample we received and for nothing else in the batch it came from, and it is not a judgement about safety, efficacy or suitability for any use.
What we do not claim.
A certificate describes one sample, not a consignment. It records what we measured on the material that reached us, by the method it names, on the date it gives — not a production run, not a manufacturer's general quality, and not the vial in front of you unless that vial is the one we were sent.
Nor does it say the sample was representative of what it came from. We measure what arrives; whether it stands for the batch is decided by how it was drawn, which happens before we see it. If that matters to the question you are asking, agree a sampling plan first — it is worth more than a second analysis.
We also do not assess whether a substance is safe, effective, legal in your jurisdiction, or suitable for any particular use. Those are separate questions, and several of them are medical or legal rather than analytical. Presenting a purity figure as an answer to them would be a misuse of it, and we will not do that on your behalf.
