Security Cages Compliant for both the DEA and Health Canada
DEA Compliance
The general security requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) require all registrants and applicants for registration to provide effective physical security controls and operating procedures to guard against theft and diversion of controlled substances. Substantial compliance with these requirements and standards set forth in Title 21 CFR Sections 1301.72–1301.76 may be deemed sufficient by DEA after evaluation of the overall security system and needs of the individual applicant or registrant.
