(She says to everyone asking her for “independent third-party testing” because they don’t believe her test results!)
Third-Party Testing
Definition:
Independent testing by an organization that was not involved in the design and implementation of the object being tested (e.g., a system or device) and is not intended as the eventual user of that object.
“Party #1”: The manufacturers
“Party #2”: The customers/ consumers
“Party #3” (a.k.a “third-party”): Someone who has no financial interest in the product or the outcome. Someone who is not the customer or the manufacturer — someone who does unbiased testing, using science. A third party.

That is really funny!! Maybe not to you Tamara because of the effort you go to in order to inform people. It was making my head spin thinking, who else would be the third party testing, when you have no stake in the product, no reason to produce anything but accurate readings? LOL As you said, “You are the third party!”
It’s obvious many companies wrongly think that only labs can test items, and the same companies don’t take the time to actually read your credentials you post all over this website! ♀️ Hopefully this will stop you from having to constantly repeat yourself and you can just send them over to this page.
