The Quality and Standards Management Committee
The Quality and Standards Management Committee is responsible for ensuring TAPPI maintains its ANSI accreditation as a standard setting body. The Committee coordinates with other groups in developing and revising standards, takes positive action to support progress, and maintains keen attention towards the ease and usability of the process. The Committee oversees regulations governing TAPPI Standards and Technical Information Papers and maintains liaison with internal and external groups as appropriate. The Committee is a free standing committee (much like the TAPPI JOURNAL Editorial Board) and brings major policy proposal changes to the TAPPI President & CEO.
The Committee does not originate new material relative to TAPPI Standards and TIPs, as that function lies with TAPPI's other committees.
All inquiries regarding the QSMC should be directed to Charles Bohanan at standards@tappi.org.
More information about Standards and TIPs is available on this website.
