NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for 

Paper Disintegrators 

OVERVIEW 

Devices included on this list have passed evaluation by meeting requirements set by the NSA/CSS for the 

disintegration of paper with notations to those devices also approved to destroy punched (key) tape, and CDs. 

Meant to serve as guidance, inclusion in this document is not an endorsement by the NSA/CSS or the U.S. 

Government. All listed products sanitize TS/SCI and below. 

 QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPROVAL 

The NSA/CSS established the following performance 

requirements against which these disintegration devices 

have been tested: 

 

 The device must reduce paper and/or punched tape to 

an edge size of 3 millimeter by 5 millimeter, or less. 

 Testing protocol includes the timed destruction of 

mixed storage devices. 

 Devices that meet NSA/CSS sanitization 

specifications for the following storage devices are 

identified with the following approval ratings: 

P = Paper 

K = Key (punched) tape (plastic or paper) 

C = CDs 

Equipment is listed in alphabetical order by vendor. 

Alternate or previously used retail names appear in 

parentheses. Model numbers on equipment must match the 

model numbers shown in this list. 

Models that are no longer manufactured but still approved 

are included. 

Vendors submitting equipment for evaluation will no 

longer have their return shipping costs funded by NSA. 

Questions about specific models not shown can be directed 

to the Center for Storage Device Sanitization Research at 

301-688-1053 or CSDSR_NSA@nsa.gov. 

 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

1. This list serves as guidance for the 

destruction of paper storage devices, and 

identifies devices also approved for the 

destruction of paper/plastic punched (key) 

tape and CD optical storage device 

format. For storage device specific 

equipment, refer to the NSA/CSS PM 9-12 

Storage Device Sanitization Manual.

2. It is recommended to mix paper with CDs 

during destruction. 

 

3. Devices within this document are NOT 

authorized for DVD or BD sanitization. 

4. Each device offers different convenience 

features, footprints, throughput rates and 

power requirements. Contact the vendor 

to identify the unit(s) best suited to your 

site’s needs. 

5. The NSA/CSS conducts continuous 

research on data recovery and may 

remove products from this EPL as the 

data storage industry changes.

 When a product is removed from this 

EPL, a six year grace period is in 

effect for DoD customers. IC 

customers should follow your 

organization’s policy regarding this 

matter. Government Contractors 

should follow guidance/policy of their 

cognizant government industrial 

security oversight organization. 

This document is updated on an as-needed basis. The procedures for administration and distribution of the EPL are subject to change 

without notice.
