NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for 

Optical Destruction Devices 

 

 OVERVIEW 

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

for the destruction of optical storage devices such as Compact Discs (CDs), Digital Versatile Discs 

(DVDs) and Blu-ray Discs (BDs). 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 

Performance testing evaluates the device’s 

ability to sanitize optical storage devices 

(through grinding, milling, cutting, 

disintegrating, or knurling) for 

 CDs to a maximum edge size of 5 mm 

or less, and 

 DVDs and BDs to a maximum edge size 

of 2 mm or less. 

With a more stringent mandate for DVD and 

BD, equipment meeting this specification are 

identified as such. 

Equipment is listed in alphabetical order by 

vendor. Models that are no longer manufactured 

but still approved are included. Model numbers 

on equipment must match the model numbers 

shown in this list. 

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 

optical storage devices. Refer to the NSA/CSS 9-

12 Storage Device Sanitization Manual for more 

information. 

2. Remove all labels or markings that indicate 

previous use or classification. 

3. 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. 

4. 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.
