International Standard for Security Levels

The old international standard DIN 32757 for shredder security levels has been updated by the EU with the new DIN 66399. The new standard has introduced a plethora of permutations so we have provided a simplified explanation below to assist in choosing the best option for your shredding requirements.

Level 5, SECRET – Medium to High Security.

These must shred documents into cross cut particles no bigger than 30mm² (usually 2mm x 15mm). These tiny particles are often referred to as “Micro Cut”. Recommended for secret documents, which may include documents that would jeopardise personal or institutional safety if they were to fall into the wrong hands.

Levels 3 and 4, CONFIDENTIAL – Medium Security.

These machines cut paper into strips under 2mm or most often into cross cut particles (like confetti). With cross cut shredding you will get up to 5 times as much into your bag, meaning less emptying and fewer bags.

Level 4 cross cut – These must shred documents into cross cut particles no bigger than 160mm² (usually 3.9mm x 40mm).

Level 3 cross cut – These must shred documents into cross cut particles no bigger than 320mm² (e.g. 5.8mm x 50mm).

Recommended for all confidential documents including company internal documents, personal data, sales and marketing plans etc.

Level 2, INTERNAL – Low to Medium Security.

Level 2 consists of long strips of paper, cutting a sheet of A4 into approximately 100 strips. Shredded strips must be under 6mm in width. These are best suited for internal home or small office information. The shredded strips can also be used as packaging filler.

Our Level 2 shredders are perfect for use in the office when you need to dispose of large volumes of non sensitive material. They are also ideal to rent for use at meetings and conferences, where you would prefer to destroy documents rather than empty into a recycle bin.
