Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the requirements, testing methods, testing rules, judgment rules, labeling, packaging, and storage for high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Lingzhi (Reishi). This document is applicable to the evaluation of high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Lingzhi. Main technical content: It establishes quality standards for high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Lingzhi, and supplements and improves the inspection, source, and pesticide residue detection requirements for Lingzhi in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*. Specifically, the effective content quality indicators exceed the requirements in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*, while the limit values for exogenous contaminants are lower than those in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*. Compared with the provisions in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*, it raises the requirements for the characteristic active ingredients of Lingzhi medicinal materials—total triterpenes content; lowers the requirements for residual amounts of exogenous contaminants in Lingzhi medicinal materials; and simultaneously specifies the maximum residue limits for 220 pesticides and provides experimental testing methods in the form of annexes.
