New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods
The following Standards were recently published as Revised TAPPI Standards: T 441 om-20 Water absorptiveness of sized (non-bibulous) paper, paperboard, and corrugated fiberboard (Cobb test) Special thanks to the SSIG members below for being the Working Group Chairs in the recently published reviews of TAPPI Standards: Ben Frank - WGC for T 441 The TAPPI Standards Department would also like to express its gratitude to all volunteers who participated in the review of those Standards as SSIG members. 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.

General Announcements
Standards backlog clean up
Results from the backlog work are already showing: 30 ballots were opened or scheduled since last month and 12 Standards had their reviews finalized and were prepared to be presented at SARG for final approval. Although many SSIGs are still in need of members, the Standards team has got to find volunteers to fulfill many SSIGs with less than 10 members. The TAPPI Standards Department is working tirelessly to update all the remaining reviews and is positive that even better results are going to be presented by the end of this focused work on the backlog. Thank you to all the volunteers that are helping the Standards Department update this backlog!
Ballots on the new balloting system began The first official ballot for TAPPI Standards was opened in the new balloting system: TAPPI/ASTM SpecBuilder: The five-year review of T 259 om-16 Species identification of nonwood plant fibers had its first ballot opened in SpecBuilder on August 7th and will close on September 21, 2020. The TAPPI Standards Department will soon open other ballots in the new system. The SSIG members will receive a message from us when the ballot is about to be opened with instructions on how to log in to the new platform. ISO ballots for the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 6 are already been opened through SpecBuilder. If you have any issues on trying to vote on a ballot on any of the balloting systems (TAPPI Sandbox or TAPPI/ASTM SpecBuilder), please communicate it immediately to the Standards Department at standards@tappi.org.

The next meeting of the Standards Advisory Review Group (SARG) is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 1:30 – 2:00 pm (EASTERN time), online only. SARG approval is the last step prior to publication for any new, reaffirmed or revised standard. In order to act on any appeals from TAPPI members relevant to the standards up for approval, the SARG meeting is open to anyone for participation. The agenda has been posted on the SARG page. There are links from the agenda items to the final drafts that are up for approval. If you would like to participate by online call, please send a message before September 19, 2020, to standards@tappi.org.
Members for Working Groups of Useful Methods Needed
The report outlining the overdue reviews for TIPs was sent to the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) on August 25, 2020. A copy of the report was also sent to the assigned Working Group Chairs for these overdue reviews as well as to the TIP Coordinators and Chairs of the appropriate technical groups in TAPPI. Anyone who did not receive the overdue report, but who has an interest may obtain a copy by requesting it from tip@tappi.org. Working Group Chairs: This report was sent to you for your information and action, if required. Q&SMC may, according to the TIPs Guidelines, withdraw any TIPs whose reviews are overdue, especially if it appears that little progress is being made on the Work Item. If more information or indications of progress on these Work Items are received prior to the next meeting (October 7, 2020), Q&SMC will take these reports of progress under consideration. To provide updates regarding this report, send a message to tip@tappi.org no later than September 22, 2020, in order to be able to provide this information to Q&SMC at their October 7th meeting. The report outlining the overdue reviews for Standards is going to be distributed within the next couple of days. U.S. TAG to ISO TC 6
Get to know Mr. Robert Moon, PhD. Todd Popson If you would like to know more or join the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 6, please write to isotc6@tappi.org. Did You Know
...that proposing a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP) is easy? Do you have just a general idea for a Standard? Or are you further along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, email us at standards@tappi.org or tip@tappi.org. TAPPI will review your idea and identify an appropriate committee or group to work on your suggestion. If you are further along, send an initial draft to standards@tappi.org. From there, the TAPPI Standards Manager will guide you through the appropriate process to finalize and approve the new document. Also, did you know ... that to participate in the balloting process for TAPPI Standards you must sign up for the Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs)? Drafts are available for anyone to review, but to vote and comment you must be a member of the SSIG. Each Standard has its own SSIG – so you have to sign up for each Standard that you have an interest in. Links* to all of the SSIGs (by subject category) can be found on the Subject Category for Standards web page. Email us at standards@tappi.org to tell us your SSIG of interest!
