See Why You Should Participate in TAPPI Standards TAPPI Standards Test Methods are procedures and related practices used in the measurement, evaluation, and description of pulp, paper, packaging, and related products, including raw materials used in their manufacture, use, or in scientific investigations of any such substances. There are more than 240 TAPPI Standards and each has a Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) made up of industry professionals who regularly review and vote on that standard. All SSIGs require a minimum of 10 members in order to ballot and vote on a draft of a method and many have open ballots. You can join an SSIG at any stage of the process and participate at your convenience. Now’s a great time to get involved! See what others have said about their participation in Standards and TIPs. Your time is valuable, and so is your perspective. You may be new to the industry but you bring something new to the industry, too.
Your opinion matters. Different views and perspectives are valued in SSIGs. Neither TAPPI membership nor deep experience is a required to participate in a SSIG. Anyone that uses a TAPPI Standard is familiar with the technical review process or other standards is welcome. What is required?
