BS EN 15713:2009

BS EN 15713:2009, outlines the key requirements of a professional information destruction company and the security that is integral to this. This standard covers: material specific shred sizes; requirements regarding the installation of a monitored intruder alarm and a monitored CCTV system; a prerequisite for the security vetting of all staff; and obligations with regard to the security of collection vehicles and on site destruction vehicles.

Shred-it UK’s management systems have been assessed taking into account the requirements of The British Security Industry Association’s BS8470 and the European standard for secure destruction of confidential material, BS EN15713. These are codes of practice applicable to our industry.
