New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods
Twelve TAPPI Standards approved as American National Standards! The following TAPPI Standards have been approved as American National Standards by the ANSI Board of Standards Review. New American National Standards:
Approved reaffirmation of current American National Standards:
Approved revision of current American National Standards:
Notices of the approvals of the TAPPI Standards as American National Standards were placed in the November 13, 2020 and November 20, 2020 editions of ANSI Standards Action. Special thanks to the SSIG members below for being the Working Group Chairs (WGCs) in the recently published reviews of TAPPI and TAPPI/ANSI Standards:
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. 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 402 sp-13 Standard conditioning and testing atmospheres for paper, board, pulp handsheets, and related products (December 17, 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
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, complete the New Idea Submission Form. 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
 Senior Research Director of R&D
Georgia Pacific - Neenah Technical Center “Standards allow us to operate in a way that makes our lives easier.” - Jeff T. Lundeen, PhD 1. What sparked your interest in Standards? I started in the industry 39 years ago supervising various types of testing labs. As I began, Standards were an excellent way to bring me up to speed on how the industry tested. It’s a great way to quickly increase your knowledge and meet other experts in the field to bounce ideas off of. Overall, I became interested in Standards as a path to assisting my career and acquiring knowledge. Read More... SSIG Members Needed

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 befound on the Subject Category for Standards web page. When you click on a Subject Category, it will take you to the page where you can sign up online. Acronyms You May Need to Know
