We have been asked a lot by our clients about what to do with different items that they receive, which items require R2 evaluation and which do not.
When equipment, components, and materials are received by an R2 Facility, they are in an unknown state until
sorted, evaluated and further processed. There are two general streams, R2 Controlled Stream and Unrestricted Stream. The R2 Controlled Stream, unlike the Unrestricted Stream, requires R2 evaluation and processing.
Keep in mind that all materials must be controlled under the R2 Standard until it can be demonstrated that they do not fall in the category of R2 Controlled Stream.
R2 Controlled Streams
Unevaluated equipment, components & materials
Unsanitized devices/media
Equipment/components for Test & repair
FM containing equipment/components
Focus materials
Unrestricted Streams
New equipment/components in unopened, original OEM packaging
Non-electronic equipment
Non-focus materials
Planned return equipment/components
All equipment, components, and materials that are listed under R2 Controlled Stream must be evaluated and processed under the R2 Standard.
Data Sanitization Status
All equipment and components shall also be evaluated for data and identified with the corresponding data sanitization status of either Pre-Sanitization or Non-Data.
The equipment that has not been evaluated for the presence of data and equipment containing data are categorized under Pre-Sanitization status. These equipment require data evaluation and/or sanitization.
Other equipment that are already sanitized or are free of data storage media are categorized under Non-Data status. This category includes non-data devices, equipment that have been evaluated as not containing data, sanitized through physical destruction of data or device, or sanitized with software.
