The new British Standard BS 8470 was published in April 2006 and covers the facilities and security of an organisation such as HWP providing contracted services for the secure destruction of confidential material.
Security features including contracts and audit trail, sub-contracting, screening of personnel and the collection, retention and conveyance of confidential material along with material specific shred and disintegration sizes are covered by the standard.

All UKSSA members are vetted every two years by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) and receive NSI certification as evidence of compliance.
