Does Appendix E apply to our facility?
Q. If we use a hard drive shredder, do we need to certify to Appendix E-Materials Recovery?
Using a dedicated, self-contained hard drive shredder does NOT require certification to Appendix E.

Q: Does certifying to Appendix E automatically mean that the facility must conduct IH testing?
No, whether IH testing and monitoring is required or not is determined through the R2 Facility’s hazards identification and assessment, required under E (1). Check the “Common Questions About Industrial Hygiene Requirements” Q&A for further information.
