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.
