What conditions does a lift have to satisfy to qualify for a commonwealth record? I know Joe's gets in because the (bigger) British record predates the commonwealth records being instituted, but that's clearly not all there is to it. Does it need to be a national-level or higher comp or something?

Thats it, commonwealth records only came in to play 4 years ago when the first competition was held in the north east, thus establishing new records, from then out going forward these records can be broken at any level of compeition by anyone born in the commonwealth, just like the english competition at the weekend I assume we will now have english records that can only be set by an english lifter at any level of competition, as long as the competition has register for drug testing, which most are, or at least should be, and that there are 3 qualified refs to judge the lift, and then a records form is filled out and sent to the relevant records person.

In that case I don't understand how Marian Gibson's squat was a senior 75 record, given Marie Thornton's performance at the Lancs and Cheshire this year.

possibly the record wasn't claimed due to the competition not been register for drug testing? not sure,

215kg. It's listed as the British record on http://www.ynecawla.org.uk/bwpl.htm, so I think it should be ok...

All NW contests are registered for testing, plus Ian Hampson (who is the british records registrar) witnessed Maries lifts at the Lancs and Cheshire.
I'm reliably informed that to set an international record it must be refereed by Three IPF Referees - Cat 1 or Cat 2.
