Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) is a not-for-profit, voluntary accreditation body formed by pharmacy organizations to establish high quality standards for compounding pharmacies. These organizations, and the pharmacists they represent, believe that standards against which compounding pharmacies can be tested are not only good for the patient, but also good for the practice of pharmacy. Each of these organizations has one representative on the board. The member organizations are:

American College of Apothecaries
American Pharmacists Association
International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
National Community Pharmacists Association
National Council of State Pharmacy Association Executives
National Home Infusion Association
United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP)

The Mission of PCAB:

• To organize and carryout a comprehensive program of voluntary accreditation in the practice of pharmacy compounding.
• To promote, develop and maintain principles, policies and standards for the practice of pharmacy compounding in the public interest and to apply these in the accreditation of pharmacies that offer pharmacy compounding to improve the quality and safety of pharmacy compounding provided to the general public.
• To offer to the public and prescribers a way to identify the pharmacies that satisfy accreditation criteria.
• To provide a public forum for information on the practice of pharmacy compounding, and to educate the public on the importance of pharmacy compounding.
  Pharmacists are highly trusted professionals because they care for their patients. Compounding pharmacists, those who specialize in preparing medication that has been specially designed for a particular patient, are among the most dedicated. PCAB™ standards are another way of demonstrating their commitment.

Those compounding pharmacies that meet or exceed PCAB Standards will be awarded PCAB™ Accreditation. The PCAB™ seal will inform patients and prescribers that this pharmacy was tested against these high standards, and is recognized as one of the best.

PCAB™ - professional pharmacists working together to protect their patients.
