T 1014 om-10 "Moisture sensitivity of fiber glass mats" was recently balloted for its five-year review. The vote could not be validated because the balance of the interest categories on its Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) is not acceptable.
TAPPI regulations require that no interest group make up more than 50% of the SSIG. The T 1014 SSIG has 52.9% suppliers of chemicals and raw materials. We need to add several new members from other categories to balance the SSIG.
If you are NOT a supplier of chemicals or raw materials, we would like to encourage you to join this SSIG. If you ARE a supplier of chemicals or raw materials, we hope that you might be able to recruit some new members among the producer, converter, educator, and general interest categories. We can also accept suppliers of other materials besides chemicals and raw materials (for example, equipment or general services).
If you can participate in this SSIG, please send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than November 17, 2014.
