Every 18 months, ISO/TC6 (ISO Technical Committee 6 on paper, board and pulps) holds a week of meetings to discuss and resolve technical issues related to the Standards development, and develop new ISO standards and review existing ones. The main objective is to ensure that ISO Standards comply with WTO (World Trade Organization) guidelines for global relevance and, in particular, that they have no adverse effects on fair international trade. The next meeting of TC6 will be hosted by Canada from October 15-19, 2012 and will be taking place at FPInnovations in Pointe-Claire, QC. These meetings are typically attended by about 100 scientific/technical experts coming from 15 to 20 different countries. There are currently 177 standards under TC6 covering all aspects of pulp, paper, tissue and board testing in areas such as environmental, chemical, optical, and physical properties. PAPTAC and its Standard Methods Committee are pleased to actively participate in this important meeting and platform for Standards development.
