Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) All applicants and registrants shall
					provide effective controls and procedures to guard against theft and diversion
					of controlled dangerous substances. In order to determine whether a registrant
					has provided effective controls against diversion, the Director shall require
					adherence to the security requirements as set forth generally in the Uniform
					Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, and specifically by this Chapter, as
					standards for the physical security controls and operating procedures necessary
					to prevent diversion. Materials and construction which will provide a
					structural equivalent to the physical security controls set forth in
					475:20-1-4
					and
					475:20-1-6
					may be used in lieu of the materials and construction described in those
					Sections.
(b) Substantial
					compliance with the standards set forth in
					475:20-1-3
					through
					475:20-1-7
					may be deemed sufficient by the Director after evaluation of the overall
					security system and needs of the applicant or registrant. In evaluating the
					overall security system of a registrant or applicant, the Director may consider
					any of the following factors as he/she may deem relevant to the need for strict
					compliance with security requirements:
(1) The
					type of activity conducted (e.g., processing of bulk chemicals, preparing
					dosage forms, packaging, labeling, cooperative buying, etc.).
(2) The type and form of controlled dangerous
					substances handled (e.g., bulk liquids or dosage units, usable or non- usable
					powders).
(3) The quantity of
					controlled dangerous substances handled.
(4) The location of the premises and the
					relationship such location bears on security needs.
(5) The type of building construction
					comprising the facility and the general characteristics of the
					building(s).
(6) The type of vault,
					safe, and secure enclosures or other storage system (e.g., automatic storage
					and retrieval system) used.
(7) The
					type of closures on vaults, safes and secure enclosures.
(8) The adequacy of key control systems
					and/or combination lock control systems.
(9) The adequacy of electric detection and
					alarm systems, if any, including use of supervised transmittal lines and
					standby power sources.
(10) The
					extent of unsupervised public access to the facility, including the presence
					and characteristics of perimeter fencing, if any.
(11) The adequacy of supervision over
					employees having access to manufacturing and storage areas.
(12) The procedures for handling business
					guests, visitors, maintenance personnel and non-employee service
					personnel.
(13) The availability of
					local police protection or of the registrant's or applicant's security
					personnel.
(14) The adequacy of the
					registrant's or applicant's system for monitoring the receipt, manufacture,
					distribution and disposition of controlled dangerous substances in its
					operations.
