Here is the list of TAPPI Standards recently approved as American National Standards

New American National Standards:

These announcements will be published in ANSI Standards Action on June 19, 2020. These Standards will be available on tappi.org by June 22, 2020.

Special note: The following Standards have been approved for publication at the Spring 2020 SARG meeting as reaffirmations. However, they represent revisions of the listed Standards. Due to this misclassification, the documents will be re-submitted to SARG for a new approval:

T 441 om-20 Water absorptiveness of sized (non-bibulous) paper, paperboard, and corrugated fiberboard (Cobb test)
T 515 om-20 Visual grading and color matching of paper

Special note: Documents appearing in the TAPPI online version of the Standards and TIPs are updated once a month (usually around the 15th). So it is possible that there is a delay between the publication announcement and the posting online. If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request for TIPs to tip@tappi.org or for Standards to standards@tappi.org.

TAPPI Standards guidelines require that all TAPPI members receive notification of any proposed new Standard or TIPs. This message is being sent to you because you are a TAPPI member; have purchased TIPs or Standards products from TAPPI; or because you have previously expressed interest in this topic.
