S 2.50 Appropriate disposal of consumable fax accessories and spare parts

Initiation responsibility: Head of Internal Services, IT Security Officer

Implementation responsibility: Person in Charge of the Fax System

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 replacement of information-bearing spare parts, e.g. photoelectric drums.

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

Review questions:

• Are fax consumables from which information on fax messages might be derived disposed of safely?
