INTIMUS - Model DIN 66399 -Shredder
The new Standard for safe Destruction and Disposal of Data Carriers containing confidential, personal and/or sensitive Data on Paper and modern Data Carriers. For decades, the destruction of Data Carriers was governed by the standard
DIN 32757-1:1995-01, which applied exclusively to paper. With the rapid spread of digital Data Carriers and growing demands for information security, a revision became necessary. The new DIN 66399 takes full account of the current situation, and will supersede the old data protection standard DIN 32757.
DIN 66399 is structured as follows...
Part 1: Principles and Definitions
This part defines the relevant terms and specifies the protection categories and security levels.
Part 2: Requirements for Equipment for Destruction of Data Carriers
This part sets out the requirements for equipment used for the safe destruction of Data Carriers.
The new principles were drafted by the Information Technology and selected. IT Applications Standards Committee (NIA) of the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN), which summarises them as follows:
„Safe disposal in this context means that Data Carriers containing protected information must be destroyed in such a way as to render the reproduction of that information either impossible or as difficult as possible.“
