New or Revised Standards, TIPs, and Useful Methods

 

TIP 0305-54 "Material handling considerations for flexo folder gluers" (Revision)

TIP 0304-58 "An explanation of the CONEG heavy metal guidelines" (Revision)

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. Send a message to standards@tappi.org if you want to request a copy of draft in ballot.

Listed below are TAPPI Standards that have recently gone out for ballot to the corresponding Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG). The date in parentheses is the closing date for voting.

General Announcements

Getting started is easy. Do you have just a general idea for a standard, or are you farther along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a standard or TIP, complete the New Idea Submission Form. 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.
 
Plans are already underway for the 100th Anniversary of TAPPI, which will be observed during the 2015 PaperCon Conference in Atlanta, April 19-22.2015.

As part of the celebration, TAPPI and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have invited ISO Technical Committee TC 6 and its subcommittees and working groups to hold its 2015 meeting during the PaperCon week.

To keep up with the 100th Anniversary plans, there's a special website: http://www.tappi100years.org. On this site you can also sign up for the special newsletter for this event.
 

This Spring, the Standards Advisory Review Group (SARG) and Quality and Standards Management Committee will both meet during PaperCon 2014, April 27-30 in Nashville. 

PaperCon 2014, TAPPI’s largest annual event, focuses on new ways to run more profitably and stay competitive.   The Papermaking Program covers a number of topics guaranteed to give you great ideas to take back to the mill. Learn to optimize your machine(s) through innovations in web imaging systems, improving pressing efficiency, wet end optimization, and vacuum systems upgrades. The Coating & Graphic Arts Program focuses on the future of printing and its demands on paper and board coating.  In addition to mill manager and superintendent panels, the PIMA Management Program features sessions on reliability, training operators of the future, safety and lean manufacturing.  Register now for best rates. 

Your registration to PaperCon also includes full access to these programs:
 
Tissue360° Forum, OpEx Reliability Workshop, RPTA P-T Seminar, and Innovative Nonwovens Conference (NETInc).  Learn more about PaperCon.

 

Many top experts in our industry are involved in the development of Standards and TIPs which help them – and you – do your jobs better and more efficiently. Why should you be involved? Not only does your experience and expertise add to the process, but it also solidifies professional prestige. You can provide input on Standards in areas such as:

• Pulp & Paper
• Packaging
• Nanotechnology
• Workplace training
• Nonwovens
• Bioenergy

If you would like to propose an idea for a new Standard or TIP, please email: standards@tappi.org. TAPPI’s Standard Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs) are the consensus body that develop and review Standards. Each Standard has its own SSIG. If you would like to participate in an SSIG, visit www.tappi.org/participateinstandards.

 
Standards Coming Up For Review

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.

Listed below are the Standards that will be up for review in 2014. 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 send a message to standards@tappi.org and request voting membership on the corresponding SSIG, prior to the target ballot date, if possible. Anyone who joins the SSIG before the target balloting date will receive a notice of the ballot.

If you have joined 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. If you wish to join the Standard Specific Interest Group for a particular Standard, please go to the Subject Categories for Standards  page or contact the Standards Department at TAPPI (standards@tappi.org), or phone +1-770-209-7276 or fax +1-770-446-6947).
