If you would like to participate in the SSIGs that review and vote on the Standards, please contact TAPPI Standards Department at standards@tappi.org. General Announcements
STAR Member of the Month We are delighted to announce that we are starting this month a new section in the STAR Newsletter: STAR Member of the Month. In this section the outstanding volunteers who work on TAPPI Standards, TIPs or ISO TC 6 will have an opportunity to share their experience with the review of technical documents and with TAPPI. We hope that everyone enjoys getting to know these amazing volunteers! Meet today Ben Frank, who kindly shared his experience with TAPPI Standards. Read more in the Section below. Priscila Briggs STAR of the Month
 Director, Materials Research and Innovation I took a job with PCA in 2001 managing lab operations - it is very hard to do that if you don’t know anything about Standards. You must understand what each Test Method (TM) does, how it works, what it means, and what it can be used for in order to address questions about test properties. It was important to have an understanding of all of our Standards, and a hand in their management. As an industry, we must have Standards to be assured we are measuring the same properties and speaking the same language.

The Work Item below is a Proposal for a New Standard with development in progress. A first ballot to review the proposed draft will be opened within the next weeks. Subject Category: 0114 Fillers and Pigment Title: High Shear Capillary Viscosity (ACA Capillary Viscosity) of coating color on paper and paperboard Scope: 1. This method describes a procedure for measuring high shear viscosity of pigment coating colors using an ACA AX-100 Viscometer with a capillary configuration. If you wish to join the correspondent SSIG to review this new proposal, please write to standards@tappi.org by September 30, 2020. Proposed New TIPs
The scope of the proposal for a new Technical Information Paper is shown below, as well as the date when the Work Item was opened, the title of the new proposal and the Working Group Chair's name (WGC). Subject Category to be determined (Global theme: Information Technology) TIP Title: Industry 4.0 Lexicon Scope: The purpose of this Technical Information Paper is to provide a comprehensive definition of terminology used around the theme of Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing industries. Goal: Manufacturing industries are in the midst of a tectonic technological shift that is profoundly changing the way industrial production is designed, produced, manufactured, shipped, serviced and sold. This era is referred to as Industrie 4.0 (or Industry 4.0 hereafter in this document). Industry 4.0 is filled with buzzwords that have been used inconsistently to describe capabilities that can be hard to distinguish between other terms and prior technology. By speaking a common language, we can more easily share ideas and accelerate progress. The purpose of this TAPPI TIP is to promote a better understanding of the most common terms in Industry 4.0. This is intended to be a dictionary of terminology that can be used as a reference. Consistent use of terminology will help ensure all stakeholders have the same expectations and can arrive at mutually beneficial results.Where they exist, references to a formal definition for a term are included. If you would like to join the Working Group or review the final draft for this new proposal, please write to tip@tappi.org by September 30, 2020. SSIG Members Needed

Members for Working Groups of Useful Methods Needed
A report outlining the overdue reviews for Standards was sent to the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) on September 8, 2020. Copies of these reports were also sent to the assigned Working Group Chairs for these overdue reviews as well as to Chairs of the appropriate technical groups in TAPPI. Anyone who did not receive the overdue report but who have an interest may obtain a copy by requesting it from standards@tappi.org. Working Group Chairs: This report was sent to you for your information and action, if required. Q&SMC may, according to the Standards Guidelines, withdraw any Standards or 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 standards@tappi.org no later than September 28, 2020, in order to be able to provide this information to Q&SMC at their October 7th meeting.
