Virginia Board of Pharmacy Requirement for Nonresident Pharmacy to Submit Current Inspection Report

Requirement for Nonresident Pharmacy
to Submit Current Inspection Report
Effective July 1, 2013, §54.1-3434.1 of the Virginia Drug
Control Act requires a nonresident pharmacy applying for
registration or renewing a registration with the Board to
submit a copy of a current inspection report resulting from an
inspection conducted by the regulatory or licensing agency
of the jurisdiction in which it is located that indicates compliance
with the requirements of the Virginia Drug Control
Act, including compliance with USP-NF standards for
pharmacies performing sterile and nonsterile compounding.
The inspection report shall be deemed current if the inspection
was conducted (i) no more than six months prior to the
date of submission of an application for registration with the
Board or (ii) no more than two years prior to the date of submission
of an application for renewal of a registration with
the Board. However, if the nonresident pharmacy has not
been inspected by the regulatory or licensing agency of the
jurisdiction in which it is licensed within the required time
period, the Board will accept an inspection report from the
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy®
 that satisfies the inspection report requirements of §54.1-3434.1. Refer
to Guidance Document 110-38 for additional information.
