New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods
Since June 19, 2020, the TAPPI/ANSI Standards below are available on TAPPI.org: New American National Standard: Reaffirmation of current American National Standards: Revision of current American National Standards: Notices of the approvals of the TAPPI Standards as American National Standards were placed in the June 19, 2020 edition of ANSI Standards Action. 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 in Ballot

T 657 sp-12 Sampling of fillers and pigments (July 16, 2020) The TAPPI Standards regulations require public review of standards that are up for ballot.

Standards Backlog The TAPPI Standards team has started an intense and focused work to update the backlog on the review of Standards. Until September 18, 2020, the team is going to update all the late items that have any actions pending. The team members will be limiting the participation in other activities to get to focus on the backlog work. The U.S. TAG Administration to ISO/TC 6 has been temporarily transferred from Priscila Briggs to Shayne Nicholas until this focused work finishes. Final drafts of TIPs submitted to TAPPI, however, will continue to be published during this time. STAR Member of the Month postponed Due to the focused work on the Standards backlog, the section STAR Member of the Month, initially scheduled to begin this month, has been postponed to the September issue. Priscila Briggs Propose a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP) Getting started is easy. Do you have just a general idea for a Standard, or are you farther along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, let TAPPI Standards Department know! TAPPI will review your idea and identify an appropriate committee or group to work on your suggestion. If you have an initial idea or if you are further along, send your idea or an initial draft to standards@tappi.org.
