What Is PCAB Accreditation and Why Does It Matter?

The Gold Standard in Compounding

PCAB (Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board) accreditation, now administered by ACHC, represents the highest standard of quality in pharmacy compounding. Out of approximately 3,000 compounding pharmacies in the United States, fewer than 200 — less than 1% — have earned this accreditation.

What PCAB Accreditation Means

A PCAB-accredited pharmacy has been rigorously evaluated for:

• Quality management systems that ensure consistent, high-quality preparations
• Personnel qualifications — all staff must demonstrate competency
• Facility and equipment standards meeting or exceeding USP guidelines
• Standard operating procedures for every aspect of compounding
• Third-party testing to verify potency and sterility
