Data Security & Sanitization
R2v3 Core — Data Security
0/20
1
Do you have documented data sanitization procedures aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1?
R2v3 requires written, auditable sanitization procedures referencing an approved standard.
2
Do you generate a Certificate of Data Destruction (CoD) for every data-bearing device?
Auditors require per-device CoDs traceable back to the specific sanitization event.
3
Is the specific wipe method (Clear / Purge / Destroy) logged per device — not just per batch?
R2v3 auditors require device-level traceability, not batch-level summaries.
4
Do you have a documented process for devices that fail sanitization verification?
Failed sanitization without a remediation process is a direct audit finding.
Chain of Custody
R2v3 Core — Material Tracking
0/20
1
Can you trace every asset from intake through to final disposition in a single record?
R2v3 requires end-to-end chain-of-custody — intake to downstream — for every device.
2
Do you track downstream vendors' R2 or equivalent certifications for all materials you send out?
R2v3 requires documented downstream vendor qualification — unqualified vendors are an automatic audit failure.
3
Can you produce a full chain-of-custody report for any client within 24 hours of a request?
Enterprise clients increasingly require on-demand compliance documentation — this is also an auditor expectation.
4
Do you maintain accurate records of all outbound materials including weight, type, and destination?
R2v3 material tracking requires complete inbound and outbound data for every material stream.
Legal & Environmental Compliance
R2v3 Core — Legal Compliance & EHSMS
0/20
1
Do you have a documented plan for identifying and monitoring applicable environmental regulations?
R2v3 requires an active compliance monitoring plan — not just awareness of regulations.
2
Is your Environmental Health & Safety Management System (EHSMS) formally documented?
R2v3 Core requires a certified EHSMS protecting workers, public, and the environment.
3
Do you have documented procedures for handling hazardous materials (batteries, CRTs, lamps)?
Specialty electronics handling is a dedicated R2v3 Process requirement if your facility processes these.
4
Do you maintain documentation of all applicable environmental permits for your facility?
Permit documentation must be current and available on-site for auditors.
Facility & Worker Safety
R2v3 Core — Worker Health & Safety
0/20
1
Is your facility physically secured against unauthorized access to data-bearing devices?
R2v3 data security requires controlled access to areas where unwiped devices are handled.
2
Do all technicians handling electronics have documented safety training and PPE procedures?
Worker health and safety training is a Core R2v3 requirement with documentation expectations.
3
Do you conduct regular internal audits of your R2v3 compliance processes?
R2v3 expects ongoing self-monitoring — internal audits are reviewed by external auditors.
4
Do you have a documented incident response plan covering data breaches and environmental spills?
R2v3 requires defined response procedures for both data security incidents and environmental events.
Operational Processes
R2v3 Process — Data Sanitization & Test/Repair
0/20
1
Are all incoming IT assets assigned unique identifiers at intake before processing begins?
Device-level tracking from intake is foundational to R2v3 material tracking requirements.
2
Are technicians trained on your standardised condition grading criteria (Grade A/B/C/D)?
Inconsistent grading has no direct R2v3 citation, but directly impacts audit evidence quality and revenue recovery.
3
Do you track and report on material recovery and recycling rates for your operations?
R2v3 requires material recovery tracking to demonstrate responsible downstream handling.
4
Do you have documented procedures for accepting and rejecting inbound material from clients?
R2v3 scope requirements include managing what materials enter your facility and under what conditions.

About R2v3

R2v3 (Responsible Recycling version 3) is the leading certification standard for ITAD and electronics recycling operations, administered by SERI.

Re-certification audits occur every 3 years. Most operations take 8–12 months to achieve initial certification.
