NSA EPL listed
The listing Indian defence, PSU and government procurement specifies.
The specification Indian defence, PSU and government tenders ask for by name. The T-4 is on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List and produces a bi-directional ±20,000 Gauss pulse using Proton's patented Reverse-Polarity technology.
When a tender names an NSA-listed degausser, there is no interpretation. The T-4 carries that listing, which means it satisfies the specification without argument — and it satisfies the same policy that a bank's group security standard or a PSU's vendor registration will reference.
The Reverse-Polarity pulse is bi-directional, so the field is applied in both directions across the media rather than one. The internal Gaussmeter means the field is measured by the machine itself, so there is no separate instrument to buy, calibrate and re-certify — and no gap in the evidence chain between the cycle and the certificate.
The listing Indian defence, PSU and government procurement specifies.
A bi-directional ±20,000 Gauss field across the media.
Field measured by the machine — no separate instrument or re-certification programme.
Per-cycle measurement that supports a destruction register.

The situations this is most often specified for, based on what we are asked to quote most often.
It means the degausser has been evaluated against the NSA's criteria for magnetic media sanitisation and appears on their Evaluated Products List. Indian defence, PSU and government tenders commonly name it by requirement rather than by model, so a listed machine removes the argument.
No. The T-4 has an internal Gaussmeter and displays the result, so there is no second instrument to buy, calibrate or re-certify.
Yes. It can be specified with a 12 V battery option for sites where the power supply is intermittent.
