This standard practice establishes the “self certification” procedures for an organization to nominate itself, and be accepted, as a TAPPI calibration laboratory for inclusion in the listing of such sources within the published TAPPI Test Methods. All organizations requesting a listing must be willing to sell or provide the materials to any other company or organization that has a legitimate interest in using the method in conjunction with testing activities. The organizations so accepted by TAPPI will be listed as maintainers of master instruments, calibrators of test instruments to either master instruments or to calibration standards, issuers of calibration standards, and/or the issuers of transfer standards.
