No mention on the BBC business website so just Tweeted their Business Editor to take a look at a great British success story :-)

While it's not been said explicitly I think this verification is inline with the new ISO standard:"Completed by @NPL with similar tests just published"So I believe that today VRS has also demonstrated ISO compliance, not officially as there aren't any iso certified laboratories yet.....

Yes, tks (again) Woody.

Why would anyone who is currently invested not feel supremely confident at this point?
Why would anyone who had any doubt not be truly reassured today and want to be part of the story?
Why would we not think that the collaboration clients feel the same?
Why would those not invested, but just watching, not be thinking, ''Mmm this is a wonderful story and has (again) been hugely derisked today''?
Why would anyone, invested or not, not feel that today's price is really a giveaway, given what we now know?

We are on the cusp of greats things I believe, so I invested more today.

Quite. What did the immigrants ever do for us.....

[pshevlin] 01/4/2019 11:18

The British need something to be proud of at the moment.....even if the stuff was discovered by two foreign gentlemen! (bloody immigrants)

The British need something to be proud of at the moment.....

Looking forward now to American investors discovering VRS in the USA. No wonder the UK gov is fully supporting this gem of a company. Makes you proud to be British!

Great news though!!!Well done Vrs

[1teepee] 01/4/2019 10:55

Where is the Aecom update . Expected in the first quarter?

Another one to add to the long list of damp squib announcements. Expect a red end today.

Couldn't be more positive.

[inaminute] 01/4/2019 10:50

And what a boost for all the staff. They've had their processes and output independently verified and they're the first in the World. Great for staff and for attracting any other high calibre individuals as required.

[rocket fuel] 01/4/2019 10:49

First sign of a decent contract on the back of this global verification, will send the market cap haywire!

Versarien becomes Graphene Council's first verified producer






Advanced materials engineering group Versarien announced that it was the first graphene company in the world to successfully complete the Graphene Council's ‘Verified Graphene Producer’ programme on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm described the US-based Graphene Council's programme as an independent, third party verification system that involved a physical inspection of the production facilities, a review of the entire production process, a random sampling of product material and “rigorous characterisation and testing” by an international materials laboratory.
It said the programme was based on the most recent developments in globally-recognised graphene standards, surveys of graphene producers, researchers and users, as well as analysis of commercially available graphene products.
The Graphene Council had designed the programme to be an “important step” in providing customers and end-users with a degree of confidence that had not existed before, the board said, in that they were sourcing material from a reputable supplier.
That, Versarien claimed, would bring “transparency and clarity” to a rapidly-changing and opaque market for graphene materials.


“Successful commercialisation of graphene materials requires not only the ability to produce graphene to a declared specification, but to be able to do so at a commercial scale,” said Terrance Barkan, executive director of the Graphene Council.
“It is nearly impossible for a graphene customer to verify the type of material they are receiving without going through an expensive and time-consuming process of having sample materials fully characterised by a laboratory that has the equipment and expertise to test graphene.”
Barkan said the Verified Graphene Producer programme developed by the council provided a level of independent inspection and verification that was not available anywhere else.
“We are pleased to have worked with the National Physical Laboratory in the UK, regarded as one of the absolute top facilities for metrology and graphene characterisation in the world.
“They have provided outstanding analytical expertise for the materials testing portion of the programme.”
Neill Ricketts, chief executive officer of Versarien, added that the company was “delightedR21; that it was the first graphene producer in the world to successfully complete the Verified Graphene Producer programme.
“This is a huge validation of our technology and will enable our partners and potential customers to have confidence that the graphene we produce meets globally accepted standards.
“There are many companies that claim to be graphene producers, but to enjoy the benefits that this material can deliver requires high quality, consistent product to be supplied.”
Ricketts said the Verified Producer programme was designed to verify that its production facilities, processes and tested material met the stringent requirements laid down by the Graphene Council.
“I am proud that Versarien has been independently acclaimed as a Verified Graphene Producer and look forward to making further progress with our collaboration partners and numerous other parties that we are in discussions with.”

It's been long wait for the funds to be out. Over the last week or so it's been steady as if there isn't a supply.

When you have funds thing there that can chuck 500k-1 mill into news to feed the MMs it tends to knock things.

That is what has happened over the last 18 months on VRS and now that game is nearly over assuming Miton have dumped their last 500k plus this month.

Just Katie on the fund front then but she does it differently and not so aggressive, she waits until they come knocking. She doesn't have many left either (500k+) having had 7 mill at the start of her selling run. She may have sold some in March.

For the US audience can we expect the GIC (Graphene Industry Council) or the NGA (The USA's National Graphene Association) to also be announcing this morning's news when America wakes up today?

[benevolent] 01/4/2019 10:36

Errmm, what's the date today ;-)
