What the POPI Act Requires
The Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act mandates that personal data must be destroyed in a way that prevents reconstruction in an intelligible form. This means:
Strip-cut shredders (P-1 or P-2) are not compliant.
You’ll need a cross-cut (P-3 or P-4) or micro-cut (P-5 or higher) shredder for compliance.
New United Models That Meet POPI Standards
| Model | Cut Type | DIN/P Level | POPI Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| RT-14C | Cross-cut | P-4 | Yes |
| RT-15C | Cross-cut | P-3 | Minimum |
| M3150C | Cross-cut | P-4 | Yes |
| M3150M | Micro-cut | P-5 | Ideal |
| M2750 | Micro-cut | P-5 | Ideal |
For highly sensitive data, go with P-5 or higher. These models shred documents into particles small enough to prevent reconstruction, aligning with POPI’s secure disposal standards
