The system for review and development of TAPPI Standards requires an announcement of review dates so that any interested TAPPI parties may accessmthe drafts, submit comments, and/or join the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) to cast an official vote. Listed below are the Standards that will be up for review in 2021. The date indicated is the target date on which the draft will be distributed to the SSIG for that particular Standard. Any interested individuals who wish to be part of the voting for any Standard should send a message to standards@tappi.org and request voting membership on the corresponding SSIG, prior to the target ballot date, if possible. Anyone who joins the SSIG before the target balloting date will receive a notice of the ballot. If you have joined the Standard Specific Interest Group for any Standard, you will receive a notice for ballot at the proper time with instructions for casting your vote and making your comments. If you wish to join the Standard Specific Interest Group for a particular Standard, please go to the Subject Categories on the Standards page or contact the Standards Department at TAPPI (standards@tappi.org), or phone +1-770-209-7249.
