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.
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.
T 220 "Physical testing of pulp handsheets" (January 30, 2015)
T 1015 "Fiber glass mat uniformity (visual defects)" (February 16, 2015)
The five-year review of T 465 "Static creasing of paper for water vapor transmission tests" was balloted on November 25, 2014, and was due on January 9, 2015. Although there were no comments or negative votes, the SSIG is out of balance after dropping members who have missed three ballots in a row.
There is an overabundance of "General Interest" members. No category of interest groups can have more than 50% of the membership of an SSIG in order to validate any ballots.
If you do not fit into the "General Interest" category (primarily for retired members and the unemployed) and have an interest in this standard, it would be helpful if you joined the SSIG to help with the balance. If you would like to join the SSIG for T 465, please send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than February 23, 2015.
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 2015. 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).

A proposal has been made for a new Standard: "Conformational isomerism of cellulose under incremental stress or strain."
This method is to determine conformational isomerism of cellulose under incremental stress or strain. Almost all matter, including viscoelastic cellulose, respond to energy changes which almost invariably influence its atomic and or molecular bond characteristics (length, orientation, and geometry). Changes in bonding characteristics of conformationally isomeric cellulose is characterized by variations in the relative amounts of rotamers which has implications on the molecular organization and physical integrity of cellulose that should inform the processing and material application of cellulose.
A Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) must be formed for this proposal. Any individuals who are interested in this Standard may join the SSIG to receive ballots when this method is ready for vote. If you would like to join the SSIG for this project, please notify the Standards Department at standards@tappi.org no later than January 30, 2015.
A proposal has been made for a new Standard: "Identification of non-native cellulose in cellulose-based composites."
This method is for identification of non-native cellulose in cellulose-based composites. A scatter plot of the 1095 cm-1 Raman band intensity with rotation angle of the wave plate is indicates that non-native (processed) cellulose has a characteristic scatter plot pattern of two orthogonally intercepting dumbbells. This plot pattern proves to be a signature of non-native cellulose that can be used in this determination.
A Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) must be formed for this proposal.
