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. Pulp and Chemical 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. 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. Did You Know
. . . you do not have to be a TAPPI member to join any of the Standard-Specific Interest Groups (SSIGs)? To join an SSIG for a specific Standard, go to the Subject Categories page, where you will find links to sign up for as many SSIGs as you like.
If you do not choose to join an SSIG, you can still request copies of any Standards up for ballot by sending a message to standards@tappi.org. After reviewing drafts, you may also send any comments to standards@tappi.org. The volunteer experts working on Standards are required to consider all comments received, but they are not required to accept comments from nonmembers of the SSIG. To ensure that your comments are addressed, then think about signing up for as many SSIGs as you like.
Once you have signed up, you will be given instruction son how to log into the TAPPI balloting system. You will then be notified by email whenever one of the Standards you have signed up for is ready for voting.
