Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the requirements, inspection rules, judgment rules, labeling, packaging, and storage for high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf., and describes the corresponding testing methods. This document is applicable to the assessment of high-quality Codonopsis pilosula. Main technical content: The high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials defined in this document are those that meet the management regulations such as the "Good Agricultural Practice for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials" (GAP) and the "Good Agricultural Practice for Medicinal Plant Cultivation and Harvesting" (GACP) during the production process. Their quality indicators exceed the requirements set by the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia* (2020 Edition), and their limits for exogenous pollutants and endogenous toxic substances are lower than those specified in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia* (2020 Edition). A series of standards, including this document, also add exclusive technical methods for specific varieties to establish quality control standards that reflect their intrinsic quality. For high-quality Codonopsis pilosula, the specifications for Codonopsis pilosula and the content of coumarin have been increased. The document also specifies the maximum residue limits for 223 types of pesticides and sets limits for sulfur dioxide and aflatoxin in Codonopsis pilosula materials.
