PCAB accreditation
Where a compounded drug parts company with an FDA-approved one, where 503A parts company with 503B, and which accreditation programs tell them apart.
What is PCAB accreditation?
Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board certification, run by ACHC: a voluntary third-party program covering sterility, potency verification and facility standards.
Because it is voluntary, its absence is not a violation, and its presence is a real signal. Verify any accreditation claim with the accreditor, not with the seller advertising it.
