T/HTCMA 00002-2021 Drug dispensing biodegradable plastic packaging bags standard

Scope

Main technical content: This standard is proposed by the Henan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association for pharmaceutical dispensary packaging bags made of biodegradable plastics. Currently, pharmaceutical dispensary packaging bags are rather mixed, with paper bags and plastic bags being the most common. Their production and use cause serious environmental pollution. Pharmaceutical dispensary packaging is different from direct drug packaging and ordinary item packaging. At present, there are no national standards, industry standards, local standards, or group standards for it. Moreover, relevant national laws and regulations do not stipulate the packaging materials used for "pharmaceutical dispensary packaging". It can be seen that there is currently no standard for this specific type of packaging, resulting in the production and use of pharmaceutical dispensary packaging bags lacking clear guidelines and with poor safety assurance. To address the above issues, the project team, based on the actual needs of pharmaceutical dispensary packaging and taking into account factors such as safety, non-toxicity, and environmental protection, has formulated the standard for pharmaceutical dispensary packaging bags made of biodegradable plastics, which standardizes the packaging of pharmaceutical dispensary bags in medical institutions and retail pharmacies, filling the gap in standards for pharmaceutical dispensary packaging bags. This is of great significance for the national ecological protection cause and for ensuring patient medication safety and drug quality.
