Which recordkeeping item must be kept for six years?

DSCSA recordkeeping requires retaining transaction information, history, and statements for six years. This six-year retention supports the ability to trace and verify the chain of custody for prescription drugs in the supply system, enabling recalls and investigations if issues arise. HIPAA acknowledgments, CE certificates, and DEA Form 222 records have different retention timelines or purposes (not six years in general), so they don’t meet the six-year requirement. Therefore, the items that must be kept for six years are the DSCSA records.
