Product FAQs
Questions About K-12.2P7 High Security Paper Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the K-12.2P7 NSA/CSS approved, and what does that clear it for?
The K-12.2P7 shreds to P-7 (0.8 x 5 mm max particle size), the DIN 66399 clearance level for sanitizing paper up to and including Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information. This specific model isn't currently on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Paper Shredders — reach out if formal NSA/CSS listing is a requirement for your program.
Why does the K-12.2P7 only handle a limited number of sheets at a time?
That's expected for this security level — P-7's fine cut trades sheet capacity for a finer particle size, so lower per-pass sheet counts are standard across P-7 shredders.
What features does the K-12.2P7 offer?
The K-12.2P7 is built to run with minimal hands-on effort. Auto on/off means it powers down when idle instead of running unattended. Together, that adds up to less maintenance and fewer interruptions during the day.
How loud is the K-12.2P7, and how much space does it need?
It measures 39.4" h x 21" w x 17" d, so it is better planned as a floor-standing unit in an office, department, or secure work area.
What makes the K-12.2P7 worth the investment?
The K-12.2P7 is purpose-built for organizations that need to prove their paper destruction meets a specific federal standard — not just "shredded," but P-7 TS/SCI-cleared destruction. That's the level of documented compliance that satisfies audits, security reviews, and government contract requirements.
