Data erasure certification
OperationsPlatforms & Channels
Data erasure certification is documented proof that device data has been permanently destroyed according to recognised standards such as ADISA, NIST SP 800-88, or R2, supporting compliance with regulations including GDPR.
Certified erasure can increase resale value on programmes that recognise it, including Back Market and Amazon Renewed, because it lowers buyer risk and satisfies listing requirements. Factory reset alone is generally not equivalent to certified erasure for programme eligibility. For pricing intelligence, certified vs uncertified erasure should be treated as a meaningful quality-tier distinction, often comparable to a half-grade difference in condition.
