S 2.50 Appropriate disposal of consumable fax accessories and spare parts

Initiation responsibility: Head of Internal Services, IT Security Management

Implementation responsibility: Fax Officer

All fax consumables from which information on fax messages might be derived, e.g. intermediate foils and faulty printouts, must be destroyed before disposal, or disposed of by a reliable and specialised company.

The same applies to the exchange of information-bearing spare parts, e.g. photoelectric drums.

Maintenance companies which periodically maintain or repair the fax machines are to be committed to appropriate handling and checked, if required.

Additional controls:

• How are the fax consumables which are no longer required disposed of?

• Have the persons responsible for the fax machines been briefed on the protection requirements and various possibilities of the material which is to be disposed of?
