New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods
The list below shows Standards that were approved for publication at the Spring 2020 meeting of SARG: *T 401 Fiber analysis of paper and paperboard (reaffirmation) These Standards will be published on tappi.org within the next month. 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
Listed below are TAPPI Standards that have recently gone out for ballot to the corresponding Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG). The date in parentheses is the closing date for voting. T 257 sp-14 Sampling and preparing wood for analysis (November 6, 2020) Correction: In the September issue of STAR Newsletter, the ballots below were not announced by mistake. The ballot closing date for each of them has passed. However, if you would like to review the draft of any of the Standards in ballot below and/or if you would like to cast a vote on any of these ballots, please contact the TAPPI Standards Department no later than October 30, 2020. We apologize for this inconvenience. T 254 cm-10 Cupriethylenediamine disperse viscosity of pulp (falling ball method) (October 19, 2020) The TAPPI Standards regulations require public review of standards that are up for ballot. Send a message to standards@tappi.org if you want to request a copy of the draft in ballot. 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
Submit your ideas for new P&PQ technical content The Process and Product Quality Division is looking for opportunities to increase the value of participation in P&PQ Division activities, and for the readers of the STAR Newsletter. One avenue is to increase the learning and the “keeping up-to-date” opportunities for existing stake holders in the measurement and control of product quality. We are asking your input regarding potential topics about quality systems, the latest product quality testing technology and new methods that you think are of benefit to our industry. We are hoping to develop these ideas into short seminars and conference session, or workshops. Please send us your ideas to training@tappi.org. 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 please contact the Standards department. 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. STAR of the Month
 Technical Manager, Paper and Board “TIPs are a great way to participate on a small team. They provide a defined period of time to accomplish a shared goal, and you get an opportunity to hear other’s opinions and contribute your own.” - Paula Hajakian Early in my career as an engineer, long before I ever participated in TIPs reviews, I referred to TIPs when in-depth knowledge was required to trouble-shoot papermaking processes or install new equipment. The role I initially took in the Water Removal Committee tracking Forming and Pressing TIPs was daunting based on the number of TIPs and technical content supported by that subcommittee. It is a significant and important role to participate in the review of TIPs and the creation of new ones to support and sustain our industry.
