Which items require protection but do not fall into other categories?

Unclassified items require protection but do not fall into the specific categories defined for pilferable, restricted, or dangerous items. These items might not pose direct risks related to national security or safety but still need to be managed properly to ensure they do not fall into the wrong hands or are not misused.

Unclassified items can include various materials and information that, while not classified, are still sensitive enough that their loss or unauthorized access could lead to potential issues, such as operational effectiveness or the compromise of proprietary information. Therefore, they need proper safeguarding protocols to maintain their integrity and confidentiality within the operational environment.

In contrast, pilferable items are specifically focused on items that are particularly susceptible to theft. Restricted items are generally those that are under specific rules or laws governing their use and access. Dangerous items are classified as those that pose a direct risk to safety and require stringent security measures. Although each of these categories has specific needs and protections, unclassified items are treated separately due to their unique status, emphasizing the importance of careful management even in the absence of a formal classification.
