Non-suppliers of chemicals needed to join SSIG for T 1009

Print this article | Send to Colleague

T 1009 om-11 "Basis weight of fiber glass mats" has been under regular review since July 2014. After going through three drafts, the most recent ballot was invalid because the Standards-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) became out of balance after dropping members who had missed three ballots in a row.

The SSIG now has over 50% suppliers of chemicals or raw materials. No interest group may have more than 50% in order to properly balance the group.

In order to continue balloting this standard, more members who are NOT suppliers of chemical or raw materials need to join the SSIG in order to achieve the proper balance.

If you are NOT a supplier of chemicals or raw materials, and you would like to join this SSIG to help keep this standard in the system, please contact standards@tappi.org before August 14, 2015. If the SSIG balance can be restored, the next ballot will be distributed sometime after that date.
