If USP says the chapter is official, is that what my inspector uses?

Not automatically. Official USP date and state enforcement date are different clocks. Confirm the edition language and enforcement date on your board’s current posting. Educational only.

Does USP enforce 795, 797, or 800?

No. USP publishes the chapters. Boards enforce. Check your local board. Confirm locally.

Can 800 be off while 797 is on?

Yes — that is a common lag pattern. Some boards delay or waive ⟨800⟩ after they adopt 795/797. Confirm your board. Not a national yes/no.

If we ship to another state, whose edition counts?

Home board and destination board can differ. Check both. Follow the stricter documented path for that order and verify locally. This page is not a nonresident statute list.

Which USP edition does our state board actually enforce?

USP ⟨795⟩, ⟨797⟩, and ⟨800⟩ become official on USP’s calendar (revised compounding chapters are commonly cited as official November 1, 2023 — confirm the current USP-NF). Enforcement is the state’s job. Compounding AI Pro does not store which edition a board enforces, and this page is not grounded in the product rule set for that answer. Open your board’s compounding regulation, FAQ, or recent minutes. If you ship out of state, check the destination board too.

USP official date is not the state enforcement date

USP publishes and revises chapters. Boards decide if, when, and how those chapters become the inspection text. Those are two clocks. Treating “it’s official at USP” as “my inspector will use that PDF tomorrow” is how shops train on the new chapter and get dinged on the old one — or the reverse.

This answer sits under USP 797 so it is next to the sterile hub. The copy is a 795 / 797 / 800 overlay. Boards often put the three chapters on different clocks. Do not treat the 797 badge as a single-chapter table.

Educational only. Not legal advice. Not a substitute for your current board text or PIC judgment. Not a promise about any inspection outcome.

USP official date = when the chapter is official in USP-NF. Confirm that calendar in current USP text.
State enforcement date = when your board inspects against that edition.
They can be years apart. Confirm both on the board’s current posting.

How to find what your board posted

Do not guess from a national webinar or a vendor slide. Open the board’s own posting. Start with the compounding statute or regulation. Then the board’s compounding FAQ. Then recent board minutes if the FAQ looks stale.

Write the edition language and the enforcement date. Ask: which revision of ⟨795⟩, ⟨797⟩, and ⟨800⟩ is named? Is ⟨800⟩ enforced, delayed, or waived in part? Is there a sterile-class rule that sits on top of USP?

If two documents disagree, the current regulation usually beats a leftover FAQ — but verify, do not assume. This page does not replace that pull. It is not a complete 50-state map.

Statute or regulation first. Then the compounding FAQ. Then recent minutes.
Record the edition language and the enforcement date. Write the date you opened the page.
If you ship out of state, open the destination board the same way.

What can lag — chapter year, 800, sterile vs nonsterile

Three lags show up again and again. First: chapter year. A board can keep an older ⟨795⟩ or ⟨797⟩ in force after USP’s official date. Second: ⟨800⟩. Some boards adopt 795/797 and leave hazardous-drug containment off, delayed, or waiver-only. Third: sterile vs nonsterile. The sterile class rule can flip on a different date than the nonsterile chapter.

That is why “we updated to the new USP” is not a complete answer. You need three chapter clocks, not one PDF.

This is an educational pattern, not a cleared national list. Confirm your board’s wording on the live page.

Chapter year can lag the USP official date.
⟨800⟩ can be on, delayed, or waiver-only while 795/797 are already live.
Sterile and nonsterile clocks can differ. Confirm each.

Nonresident / out-of-state wrinkle

If you ship into another state, the destination board can use a different adopted edition than your home board. Home-state compliance does not automatically satisfy the destination inspector.

Check both: the board that licensed the pharmacy, and the board that governs the order’s destination. When they disagree, follow the stricter documented path for that order — then verify locally.

Ohio publishes a separate nonresident compounding guidance next to its in-state guidance. That is one pattern, not a national list. Open the destination board’s own posting.

Home board posting first. Destination board if you ship out of state.
Two licenses can mean two chapter years.
Stricter documented path when they disagree. Verify locally.

Kentucky’s Compounding FAQ is a published delay pattern: older ⟨795⟩ (2014) and ⟨797⟩ (2008), with ⟨800⟩ not enforced, until a board-set date of January 1, 2026 for the 2022 revisions — after USP’s commonly cited November 1, 2023 official date. That gap is the point of this page. Open the current FAQ and 201 KAR 2:076.

Texas posts its own sterile class rule, 22 TAC §291.133, with its own effective dates. The Texas Register posting of the Board’s adopted amendments shows a March 1, 2026 effective date. Do not copy a remembered Texas date onto a label or an SOP from this page.

Ohio’s compounding guidance says the newest ⟨795⟩ / ⟨797⟩ rule took effect February 28, 2026, and the board delayed enforcement to February 28, 2027. California’s compounding page points to updated regulations effective October 1, 2025 on top of current USP chapters. Washington’s WAC 246-945-100 names ⟨795⟩ and ⟨797⟩ official as of November 1, 2023. North Carolina’s board FAQ says the chapters apply, including later amendments, and that ⟨800⟩ applies after November 1, 2023 because it is pulled into the revised chapters.

What this page is grounded on

This page is not grounded in PharmacyCompounding.AI’s product rule set for state edition answers. Compounding AI Pro does not store which USP edition a board enforces. There is no product file you can query for “my state’s edition.” A linked board posting, with the date accessed, is the source.

That is honest. It matches how the product already treats state law: search and open the board’s own page. It does not require us to invent an edition map we do not have.

What Compounding AI Pro helps vs what you still open locally

Compounding AI Pro speeds the USP core question — cited ⟨795⟩ / ⟨797⟩ / ⟨800⟩ starting points, grounded in the chapters you work from and, if you upload them, your SOPs. It does not answer which edition your board enforces, and it does not ship a 50-state edition map. We do not pretend it does.

Ask Compounding AI Pro the USP question you actually have (BUD, garbing, designated person, inspection themes). Then open the board posting for the edition and extras the inspector will use. Start Free Demo if you are not in the product yet.

When the USP PDF and the board clock disagree, the board’s current adopted text is what the inspector can walk in with. Confirm it. Educational only. Not an inspection-outcome guarantee.

Compounding AI Pro: USP core question + optional SOP grounding.
You: current board regulation, FAQ, or minutes — plus the date you opened them.
No 50-state map. No inspection-outcome guarantee.
