Use cases
ITADDESTRUCTION is a flat grid lookup defining the available destruction and processing methods for ITAD operations. Each method has a category (data destruction, physical destruction, component separation, chemical processing), a compliance standard reference (NIST 800-88, R2, e-Stewards, ADISA, BS EN 15713), and specifications like particle size for shredding. Referenced by ITADLINE to record which destruction method was applied to each asset.
