NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for

Magnetic Degaussers

OVERVIEW

Devices included on this list have passed evaluation by meeting requirements set by the NSA/CSS for sanitizing magnetic tapes and magnetic hard disk drives. Meant to serve as guidance, inclusion in this document is not an endorsement by the NSA/CSS or the U.S. Government. All listed products sanitize TS/SCI and below.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPROVAL

Performance testing evaluates the degausser’s ability to sanitize magnetic storage devices. Degaussers listed in this document are rated by the coercivity of the storage device they can securely erase.

Coercivity is measured in Oersteds (Oe) and indicates which magnetic storage device types the degausser is authorized to sanitize. The Oe rating of the magnetic storage device can be equal to, but not greater than, the

NSA-listed Oe rating of the degausser. (Refer to page 5 for magnetic storage device types and their Oe ratings.)

Failure to adhere to NSA designated Oe ratings, including Longitudinal (L) and Perpendicular (P) designations, WILL NOT ensure the complete erasure of data.

Degaussers requiring multiple passes, adaptors or disassembly of magnetic storage devices are identified as such. Equipment is listed in alphabetic order by vendor. Alternate or previously used retail names appear in parentheses. Models that are no longer manufactured but still approved are included.

Due to advances in hard disk drive technology NSA will no longer accept degaussers for evaluation with magnetic fields less than 30000 Gauss.

Vendors submitting equipment for evaluation will no longer have their return shipping costs funded by NSA.

Questions about specific models not shown can be directed to the Center for Storage Device Sanitization

Research at 301-688-1053 or CSDSR@nsa.gov.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1. This list serves as guidance for the sanitization of magnetic hard disk drives and magnetic tape. For the sanitization of these magnetic storage device types please refer to the NSA/CSS 9-12 Storage Device

Sanitization Manual.

2. Remove all labels or markings that indicate previous use or classification.

3. It is highly recommended to follow degaussing with physical destruction by deforming the platters inside all hard disk drives. Refer to the NSA/CSS Evaluated

Products List for Hard Disk Drive

Destruction Devices.

4. Inclusion in this list does not guarantee the continued performance of equipment.

Customers should re-test equipment according to the manufacturer, or through the use of an

NSA/CSS approved magnetic field verification device as identified on page 3.

5. Each degausser listed offers different convenience features, footprints, throughput rates and power requirements. Contact the vendor to identify the unit(s) best suited to your site’s needs.

6. When a product is removed from the EPL due to security reasons a grace period of six years for continued usage is in effect for DoD customers. IC customers follow your organization’s policy regarding this matter.

Government Contractors should follow guidance/policy of their cognizant government industrial security oversight organization.

This document is updated on an as-needed basis. The procedures for administration and distribution of the EPL are subject to change without notice.
