...that proposing a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP) is easy?

Do you have just a general idea for a Standard? Or are you further along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, email us at standards@tappi.org or tip@tappi.org. 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.

Also, did you know 

 ... that to participate in the balloting process for TAPPI Standards you must sign up for the Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs)? Drafts are available for anyone to review, but to vote and comment you must be a member of the SSIG. Each Standard has its own SSIG – so you have to sign up for each Standard that you have an interest in. Links* to all of the SSIGs (by subject category) can be found on the Subject Category for Standards web page.

Email us at standards@tappi.org to tell us your SSIG of interest!
