Scope

Scope: This document specifies the requirements, testing methods, testing rules, judgment rules, labeling, packaging, and storage for high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials, namely red peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.). This document applies to the evaluation of high-quality red peony. Main technical content: Red peony is a characteristic traditional Chinese medicinal material in China, with the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and clearing heat and cooling blood.

Currently, the quality of red peony materials varies greatly, and its quality standards cannot meet the diverse market demands for red peony.

This document proposes that high-quality red peony should primarily aim to improve the quality of red peony commercial materials and meet the needs of red peony market transactions. It is also an integral part of high-quality traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The quality indicators of high-quality red peony are higher than the current quality standards in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*, and the limit values for exogenous pollutants are lower than the current quality standards in the *Chinese Pharmacopoeia*. On the basis of qualified red peony materials, high-quality red peony adds quality detection indicators such as moisture conten
