selejtezésre

Selejtezésre is a Hungarian term used to indicate that an asset or item is designated for disposal, scrapping, or decommissioning. The noun selejtezés means disposal or scrapping, and the form selejtezésre expresses purpose or designation, i.e., for disposal. In asset management contexts, a device, product, or piece of equipment may be marked as selejtezésre when it is no longer usable, obsolete, or uneconomical to repair.

The term is commonly used in manufacturing, logistics, information technology, public administration and military settings. A selejtezésre kijelölt eszköz is an asset that has been flagged as suitable for disposal. The designation triggers a defined disposal process and compliance checks, including evaluation of condition, residual value, and appropriate disposal method.

The disposal procedure typically includes assessment and authorization by responsible personnel, planning for disposal, and selection of an end-of-life method such as recycling, sale as scrap, destruction, or donation if the item retains usable value. For IT equipment and other data-bearing assets, data sanitization and compliance with data protection and environmental regulations are essential steps before disposal. Environmental and safety rules govern the handling of hazardous materials or waste streams.

Documentation and records are integral to selejtezés, including disposal notes, decommissioning records, and updates to the asset register. The process aims to ensure legal compliance, accurate budgeting and auditing, and to promote responsible waste management. Alternatives to disposal can include repair, repurposing, or donation when feasible. See also asset management, inventory management, waste management and decommissioning.
