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.

T 579 "Diffuse brightness of paper, paperboard and pulp (d/0) (ultraviolet level D65)" (December 29, 2016)
 
General Announcements
KAVI is the system that we use to ballot our standards when they come up for review, and KAVI has recently upgraded TAPPI  to their workspace. Below are a few items to keep in mind after the workspace migration.

 1. Your primary email address is your username; your password remains the same.

2. Please log in and updating your profile information to ensure it is current.

3. The new Workspace user interface is more streamlined, but all of the essential work you do remains the same.

4. All of your Group Email addresses work in the same manner; email sent during the upgrade will be delayed but delivered.

5. You can also expect to see some performance improvements in the product.

 

Product & Product Quality Division committees are in need of new members to support the development and maintenance of standards we all use in the manufacture of the products we deliver to our customers.

These committees discuss and make decisions on critical issues that deal with standards which are currently being used by the pulp and paper industry, as well as those which are being developed for them. 
 
Below are the committees which are in need of your support:

Pulp and Chemical Properties Committee

Optical Properties Committee

Physical Properties Committee

Tissue Properties Subcommittee

Joining one or more of these groups gives you and your company the opportunity to participate in the discussion and development of the standards we use for evaluating the product and product quality. Without good pulp and paper industry standards to guide us, we will not be able to deliver what our customers require.  Therefore, please consider volunteering your company and your support for these committees. 

For all those members who are already involved in Standard Specific Interest Groups (SSIG), we ask you to make the next step in standard development and maintenance participation by joining a committee today.

Meetings are held twice a year to discuss ongoing committee work. The meetings can be attended in person or by phone conference. 
  
Please contact Steve Berg, P&PQ Division Chairman (sberg@thwingalbert.com) or Laurence Womack, Director of Standards and Awards (standards@tappi.org) for more information.

 

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.
 
 
SSIG Members Needed
All Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIG) require a minimum of 10 members in order to ballot and vote on a draft of a method.

T 438 cm-06 "Zinc and cadmium in paper" requires two more SSIG members for ballot.

T 504 "Glue in paper (qualitative & quantitative determination)" requires one more member in order to ballot. 

If no progress is made on these ballots, then they might be considered for withdrawal at the next QSMC meeting. If you have an interest in becoming a member of either of these SSIGs please contact standards@tappi.org.
 
Standards Coming Up For Review
The following standards will be balloted soon. If any of these methods are of interest to and you wish to join their respective SSIG, then please contact standards@tappi.org

T 579 om-12 "Diffuse brightness of paper, paperboard and pulp (d/0) (ultraviolet level D65)"

T 1216 sp-12 "Indices for Whiteness, Yellowness, Brightness, and Luminous Reflectance Factor"
