Special note: Documents appearing in the TAPPI online version of the Standards and TIPs are updated once a month (usually around the 15th). So it is possible that there is a delay between the publication announcement and the posting online. If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request to standards@tappi.org.

 
TAPPI Standards in Ballot

The TAPPI Standards regulations require public review of standards that are up for ballot. TAPPI members can view any drafts that are in ballot by logging in to the TAPPI web site (www.tappi.org), clicking on "My TAPPI," and then clicking on the "Standards Public Draft Review" link on the left side of the page. If you would like to review and comment on any draft and are not a member of the corresponding Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG), you may view the draft on line or you may request a copy of the draft being balloted by writing to standards@tappi.org. TAPPI members may join SSIGs as permanent members; go to the Subject Category page to download forms for this purpose. Nonmembers of TAPPI may join any SSIG as a voting member; to do so, send a message to standards@tappi.org to receive a copy of the draft and a ballot.

Did You Know

. . . that there is an easy way to find out what TAPPI Standards or Technical Information Papers have been revised or added since the distribution of the last CD? Go to the general Standards page on the TAPPI website and look for the links, or go directly to the Standards Update page or the TIPs Update page.

The Standards, TIPs and Useful Methods are issued in March of each year, so the update pages currently show the documents that have been issued since March 1, 2011. There will be a Useful Method update page created as soon as new or revised UMs are added (none have been since March 2011).

Because revisions are continually made to both sets of documents, the Company License (or Individual License) for Standards and TIPs provides the best way to keep up with changes. Holders of the license always have on line the most current version of all documents. View the information on the Company License page or the Individual License page for details.
