New Jersey Pharmacy Practice Site Timeline for Implementation of USP <800>
While the New Jersey Board of Pharmacy (Board) currently has regulations in effect regarding hazardous compounding, the Board believes that the
implementation of USP <800> will offer enhanced safeguards to improve the safety of patients and individuals working with hazardous drugs (HD) at any point
in the process of preparing HD prescriptions. The Board has adopted USP <800> and the proposed effective date for pharmacies to meet the new requirements is
the official date of General Chapter 800, which originally was July 1, 2018 and is now anticipated to be December 1, 2019.
The Board is reaching out to make all licensees aware of their obligations in order to be in compliance with the requirements detailed in USP <800>. The Board
also understands that the extent to which each type of pharmacy practice site will be affected by complying with this new chapter will vary.
To that end, the Board has created this high-level timeline checklist to assist licensees in understanding what the requirements are for their practice site in order
to prepare to be in compliance with USP <800>. Note that the checklist is an abbreviated overview of USP <800>, and the Board encourages all licensees
to review the complete text of USP <800>, which can be found using this link:

If a pharmacy practice site will not be in compliance with the Board’s Regulations in regards to USP <800> by July 1, 2018, the Board is requiring those
entities to download, complete and attach this document as part of the renewal of their annual pharmacy permit by June 30, 2018. The completed
document should outline the pharmacy practice site’s plans to come into compliance with the Board’s Regulations related to USP <800> when this
chapter becomes official; which is anticipated to be December 1, 2019.
If required, it is recommended to download and complete this document prior to renewing the pharmacy permit, to make the renewal process as efficient as
possible.
