What is the DIN standard? What implications for societies?
1 answer

The DIN standard determines the level of destruction to ensure data confidentiality.
DIN 66399 governs paper media as well as digital media: CDs, DVDs, credit cards, USB keys and hard drives.
Depending on the nature of the information contained on these media and their sensitivity, the standard classifies them by level of security.
This level, from 1 to 7 (strictly confidential), determines the size to which these media must be shredded to keep the information secret.
Recycling professionals whose activity is to offer a confidential destruction service are equipped with shredders that meet the DIN 66399 standard.
Papers, USB keys and other media are destroyed in pieces of a few millimeters.
For example, a hard disk containing a patent is classified H5 and will be crushed into particles of maximum 17x17mm equivalent to a 10 euro cent coin.
Any company is also concerned, which is why SatrindTech has developed large capacity industrial shredders (1K65) as well as compact shredders (S3RI) to be installed in a computer room.
