All Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIG) require a minimum of 10 members in order to ballot and vote on a draft of a method.
T 602 cm-06 "Analysis of sulfuric acid" is out of balance, and requires members that are not representing the 'Producer' interest group.
T 438 cm-06 "Zinc and cadmium in paper" requires two more SSIG members for ballot.
T 504 "Glue in paper (qualitative & quantitative determination)" requires two more members that are not representing the 'Producer' category.
T 579 "Diffuse brightness of paper, paperboard and pulp (d/0) (ultraviolet level D65)" requires one more SSIG member to ballot.
If no progress is made on these ballots, then they might be considered for withdrawal at the next QSMC meeting. If you have an interest in becoming a member of either of these SSIGs please contact
