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. T476 om-16 Abrasion loss of paper and paperboard (Taber-type method) (03/05/2021) T 1212 sp-12 Light sources for evaluating papers including those containing fluorescent whitening agents (03/04/2021) 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
The TAPPI CD of Standards, TIPs, and UMs has been discontinued for 2021 The TAPPI CD of Standards, TIPs, and UMs has been discontinued for 2021. An Individual or Company License for access to the continually updated collection of Standards, TIPs, and UMs via the web is the best way to always have a current set of documents accessible. A print-on-demand version of either the Standards, TIPs, or UMs, current and updated as of the date printed, is also available. All individual: TIPs or Standards are available for electronic or paper delivery. For electronic delivery, the documents are downloaded in PDF format. Hard copy documents can be mailed or faxed, but shipping and handling costs will apply. 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
 President and Chief Executive Officer Technidyne Corporation “You don’t have to be an expert to be a valuable participant.” M. Todd Popson What would you tell people that have never participated in ISO TC6 activities? You are part of a team! The US TAG group represents the interests of the United States from a global expert standpoint. I joke with our participants and call them Team USA. The physical representatives at the last TC6 meeting were Jeff Lundeen, Dave Loebker and me. Occasionally, we would start chanting “USA, USA, USA!” and joke about representing the US. It was fun and lighthearted. There is structure in the process, and we are always looking for people with expertise, but also people who want to learn and contribute.

The system for review and development of TAPPI Standards requires an announcement of review dates so that any interested TAPPI parties may access the drafts, submit comments, and/or join the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) to cast an official vote. The list of Standards up for review in 2021 has been corrected to remove two Standards that were incorrectly classified as up for review in October 2021. These Classical Methods have a 10 year review timeframe so will not be up for review until 2026. T 204 cm-17 Solvent extractives of wood and pulp T 418 cm-17 Organic nitrogen in paper and paperboard The below 24 Standards will be up for review in 2021. The date indicated is the target date on which the draft will be distributed to the Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) for that particular Standard. Any interested individuals who wish to be part of the voting for any Standard should contact the Standards Department at TAPPI (standards@tappi.org), phone +1-770-209-7249 or fax +1-770-446-6947) and request voting membership on the corresponding SSIG, prior to the target ballot date. You may also visit tappi.org/JoinStandards and complete the short form to get started. If you join the Standard Specific Interest Group for any Standard, you will receive a notice for ballot at the proper time with instructions for casting your vote and making your comments.

The ISO TC6 meetings originally scheduled for June in Beijing will take place virtually. Here is the general schedule: May 25 & 26, 2021 – ISO/TC6/SC2 Plenary meeting (2-4 hours per day) – only registered Experts and the Head of Delegation for each member country may attend All Working Groups associated with TC6 are going to hold their meetings in advance so status reports and proposed resolutions will be available at least 6 prior to the Plenary meetings weeks (beginning of April). Only registered Experts of each member country may attend.
Contact Todd Popson, Chair of US TAG to ISO TC6 to learn more about becoming an Expert on any ISO TC6 activities. Todd Popson Did You Know
