Reference material suppliers requested to certify according to T 1211

Suppliers of reference materials for TAPPI Test Methods are requested to certify their compliance with TAPPI Standard Practice T 1211 "Acceptance Procedures for Calibration Laboratories." This practice, issued in 1996 and revised in 2001, established guidelines for the listing of organizations as calibration laboratories or providers of standardized materials for TAPPI Test Methods. Such organizations are involved with the maintenance of master instruments, calibration of test instruments, and the issuance of calibration materials or transfer standards.

The list of reference material suppliers appears in the full set of TAPPI Test Methods (CD or print on demand), on the TAPPI website, or is available upon request from the TAPPI Quality and Standards Department. Organizations currently on the list will be notified that it is required that they recertify on a two-year basis in order to remain on the list. Organizations that file the recertification form with TAPPI by July 1, 2005, are assured of being listed in the next edition of the full set of methods on CD that will be released in March 2006. The filing date of July 1, 2005, has been established so that there will be time to review the responses prior to the publication deadline.

Organizations that provide reference materials for TAPPI Test Methods but which are not currently on the Reference Materials list should also submit self-certification forms by July 1, 2005, in order to be included in the next full set listing. Such organizations should contact Charles Bohanan (phone [phone] or e-mail to [e-mail]) to obtain the certification form.
