What fireproof cabinet is appropriate for a pharmacy's DEA and controlled substance records?

Pharmacies maintaining DEA records, Schedule II controlled substance logs, and prescription records have both fire protection and security requirements. For paper DEA records, a fireproof filing cabinet with a quality locking mechanism (preferably combination or dual-key lock) satisfies fire protection and controlled access requirements. DEA regulations specify how long certain records must be retained (typically 2 years), making fire-protected storage important for compliance. Confirm with your pharmacist-in-charge and DEA compliance advisor what specific storage standards apply.
