C’est en tant que Président par intérim de la commission de normalisation Q 03 A de l’AFNOR que je republie mon message précédent. L’ISO TC 6 Pâtes, papier, carton se réunit à Paris le semaine du 6 au 10 juillet 2026, une première depuis 2011. Le travail des experts français sera ainsi mis en valeur. Nous remercions nos sponsors, ATIP, CTP, Noviprofibre, qui financent la soirée de bienvenue du mercredi 8 juillet. ISO TC 6 Paper, pulp, board Plenary session will take place in Paris on July 6-10, 2026. International standardization, why to be involved? Standards must be seen as strategic tools for our forest-fibers products They can serve as a competitive tool to speed up or delay technologies they can support cost or differentiation strategies Our products’ assets -biobased, -deinkable, -recyclable, -recycled, -renewable, -biodegradable. The target of ISO and CEN documents is to allow fair trade. Our products will be better, sold, used, described, classified, tested, measured or certified based on reliable ISO documents. Up to you to step in the running train!!! I encourage those willing to be involved in this 'fair trade' operations, to-day even more needed in the challenged global economy.
