BS EN 15713
Secure destruction of confidential material
The short answer
The code of practice for shredding and destroying confidential material, revised in 2023. Naming it on a certificate tells the customer which standard the job was done to.
In practice
It covers how material is collected, held, destroyed and evidenced, including particle sizes for different security levels and the vetting of staff who handle it. It is a standard, not a law, so a certificate that cites it is making a specific and checkable claim rather than a vague one.
Where LoadSnap touches it
The destruction standard is a field on a LoadSnap certificate of destruction, so it prints on the document the customer keeps.
