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. Volunteer Engagement - Getting the Industry Involved! In Spring 2020, the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) created a Standards Engagement Task Force to promote SSIG involvement. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers on this task force: Chris Czyryza, Dave Carlson, Colleen Walker, Dennis Crawshaw, M. Todd Popson and Mary Kombolias. There have been over 80 updates to various SSIGs including 22 individuals increasing their Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) involvement and even new individuals have joined SSIGs. We have also worked with the task force to create more engagement collateral. Please feel free to share the flyers bellow with your friends and colleagues.
STAR of the Month
 Meet a Leading Technical Expert in Papermaking! Advanced Dynamics Corporation Ltd Midwest Regional Manager - Appleton, Wisconsin “We want to provide an environment for mill people to learn from other experts.” – Martti Tuomisto Martti Tuomisto has been a valuable TAPPI Member since 1982. He is Chairman of the Coating Operations Committee as well as a member of the Papermaking Technology and Operations Committee, and the Coating Technical Program Committee for TAPPICon. He initially attended Helsinki University of Technology (Aalto University) in Finland and obtained a Master of Science (M.Sc) in Paper Science and Engineering. Then, he obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Wisconsin (Oshkosh). Tuomisto is widely recognized as a leading technical expert in papermaking processes. He has a successful record in paper machinery business and product management, papermaking processes, paper grade development and paper grade conversions.Tuomisto’s robust experience in the industry radiates with knowledge and continued passion. What sparked your interest in Standards? My experience using Standards started in 1982. I was working for a Finnish company at the time in Marietta, GA. When there were questions about guarantees and meeting process performance criteria in the mills, it was important to know how process values were measured, evaluated and benchmarked based on Standards. Even though I have used Standards in the past, I have never developed one until now. I’m currently helping a Finnish company called ACA Systems develop several ideas into TAPPI Standards and potentially ISO Standards. So far, they came up with four different ideas, and we’re working with TAPPI to ballot and publish the first one: Work Item (WI) 3036 High Shear Capillary Viscosity (ACA Capillary Viscosity) of coating color on paper and paperboard.
