Shredders are graded on security based on the size of the shred particles created once a document has been shredded. There are six security levels that shredders can be grouped into, with level 1 being the lowest security level and level 6 being the highest.
The National Security Agency and Central Security Services deal with highly classified documents on a regular basis. Because of the highly sensitive nature of the documents that pass through the NSA and CSS, any document that is shredded or otherwise destroyed must be rendered unrecoverable by the process. NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 details the requirements that a shredder must meet to render a document unrecoverable by NSA and CSS standards. The resulting shred particles are small enough that no distinct characters can be made out, making it impossible to piece the document back together.
Only shredders with a security level 6 rating meet the requirements of NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 and are classified as being NSA/CSS approved. Shred particles generated by these shredders have an area equal to or smaller than approximately 1/32” x 5/32” or 1mm x 5mm.

It can shred paper, optical media (CDs/DVDs/Blu-rays), Floppy-disks, and Blu-ray.
