Classification of Hazardous Drugs

Hello,

I would like to know for organization implementing USP 800, are you classifying Hazardous Drugs based on NIOSH 2020 or NIOSH 2016?

USP 800 recommends to classify Hazardous Drugs based on NIOSH List. There are two NIOSH lists. NIOSH 2020 provides the better practice compared to NIOSH 2016, but has not become official.

Thank you in advance.
