(Practice)Standard Practice for Equipment Technology and Operations for Mobile and Plant-Based Secure Destruction Safety Requirements
Standard Practice for Equipment Technology and Operations for Mobile and Plant-Based Secure Destruction Safety Requirements
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice was developed to help manufacturers, designers, maintenance personnel, trainers, owners, employees, and customers of secure destruction services to provide a reasonable level of safety for everyone exposed to hazards of equipment used to provide those services.
4.2 Sections 1 – 3 provide general information and definitions and apply to all plant-based and mobile secure destruction operations and equipment covered by this practice.
4.3 Sections 5 – 8 provide requirements for design, manufacture, reconstruction, modification, operation, and maintenance of plant-based and mobile equipment used for secure destruction.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice sets forth criteria for the design, manufacture, assembly, modification, operation, maintenance, service, or repair of plant-based and mobile secure destruction equipment.
1.2 This practice is applicable both to plant-based (fixed facility) and mobile (truck-based) secure destruction operations engaged in collecting, receiving, storing, processing, transporting, or combinations thereof, media and related items to provide for secure destruction by physical or electronic alteration.
1.3 In this practice, minimum safety requirements are established with respect to secure destruction operations and equipment.
1.4 This practice applies to both new and existing mobile and plant-based secure destruction equipment.
1.5 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

INTRODUCTION
Commercial secure destruction has grown from a relatively obscure service, often offered as an
ancillary service by records storage providers or paper recyclers, to a stand-alone dedicated industry
sector with a unique operating profile and health and safety concerns.
In the following practice, secure destruction services using plant-based (fixed facility) or mobile
(truck-based) equipment are addressed.
The specifications and suggestions provided are offered as guidance only. They are meant to assist
secure destruction service providers in creating a reasonably safe environment for employees and
customers, and are not meant to be overly prescriptive.
