This document is applicable to the assessment of high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Astragalus membranaceus. Main technical content: The quality standards for high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Astragalus membranaceus have been established, which supplement and improve the inspection, source, and pesticide residue detection requirements under the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" for Astragalus membranaceus. Among them, the quality indicators for the appearance and effective content of Astragalus membranaceus exceed the requirements of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", and the limit values for exogenous pollutants are lower than those of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia". Compared with the provisions under the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", the content of genistein glucoside in high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, Astragalus membranaceus has been increased; the limit values for heavy metals and harmful elements such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic have been increased; and the maximum residue limits for 226 pesticides have been specified, with the experimental testing methods provided in the form of an appendix.
