Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
As the pharmaceutical materials extracted from natural and botanical products have become
increasingly attractive, significant progress has been achieved in identifying new sources of natural
products for traditional and alternative medicine. In particular, Chinese traditional medicine has been
the focus of tremendous research, development and applications worldwide. Accordingly, Chinese
medicinal materials are increasingly being used in countries around the world. Currently, there are
more than 70 countries that have established administrative systems to regulate Chinese medicine. At
present, the annual sale of Chinese medicines has reached more than USD 16 billion and is increasing
at a rate of 10 % to 20 % per year with great future potential. At the same time, concerns of harm to
the body associated with the long-term use of synthetic drugs have been recognized. Therefore, many
countries are developing vigorous controls and regulations on using antibiotics and other synthetic
drugs, while recognizing the importance of traditional and alternative medicines. Thus, this brings
more opportunities for the development of the market of Chinese medicines.
Today, bar codes are widely used for managing almost all ordinary products that are put up for sale. For
example, an eraser or a pencil has its individually identifiable bar code. Yet, so far, a bar coding system
for products used in Chinese medicine has not been given sufficient attention, making it difficult to
categorize individual items for international trade and research development. This brings challenges
and concerns in government supervision and proper use by patients. As products for medicinal use,
Chinese medicines could have bar codes that can be integrated into the current bar code system that
is used for other commercial products. In this way, bar codes can be used to track sources and monitor
the quality of the products. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a bar code system for Chinese
medicine products that will enable to identify each specific Chinese medicine product.
The coding system for Chinese medicines is developed based on science and research rooted in plant
taxonomy, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicinal processing, and other established regulatory handbooks
and guidelines of GS1 General standard, central product classification (CPC), and ISO/IEC 15420, etc.
The codes help translate complicated names of a wide variety of decoction pieces, Chinese Materia
Medica (raw materials), and granule forms of individual medicinals for prescriptions into transparent
digits. In this way, each Chinese medicine corresponds to a unique code as its identification.
The coding system for Chinese medicines aims to promote standardization and digitalization for
Chinese medicine, to ensure authenticity, equality, fairness, and transparency in international markets
and trade and to facilitate government supervision and regulation of Chinese medicine. It is hoped
that it will help pharmaceutical enterprises to manage workflow and increase economic returns. It
will help healthcare delivery organizations, such as hospitals and dispensaries, improve information
management systems that can ensure the accuracy of dispensing, ensuring the safe and effective use of
prescribed medicine.
Chinese medicines are substances or combinations of substances used under the guidance of traditional
Chinese medicine (TCM) theory for medical care and the prevention and treatment of disease, including
Chinese Materia Medica, decoction pieces, granule forms of individual medicinals for prescriptions
(GFIMP), and Chinese patent medicines (CPM). As it has been previously acknowledged, Chinese
decoction pieces are processed products of Chinese Materia Medica, which are also known as raw
materials. Thus, when designing the coding system for Chinese medicines, it is feasible that one set of
rules could incorporate all the features of each category of Chinese medicines, as they share the same
medicinal source and medical part. To be specific, their divergence and commodity attributes can be
clearly described in one of the layers (layer 8) in this set of coding rules. Granule forms of individual
medicinals for prescriptions are innovative products made from decoction pieces. Based on the same
considerations of feasibility and cost-control, the granular forms can be included within the same set of
rules for decoction pieces.
However, although Chinese patent medicines (CPM) are made from decoction pieces, their coding rules
are more complicated and differ from decoction pieces. Therefore, this coding system is not fit for CPM,
and coding rules for CPM need to be formulated separately.

Traditional Chinese medicine — Coding system for Chinese
medicines —
Part 4:
Codes for granule forms of individual medicinals for
prescriptions
1 Scope
This document encodes 777 kinds of granule forms of individual medicinals for prescriptions, according
to the rules in ISO 18668-1.
This document is suitable for coding of granule forms of individual medicinals for prescriptions, as well
as granule forms of individual medicinals for prescriptions in the fields of clinical medication, scientific
research, teaching, statistics and management.
2 Normative references

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in ISO 18668-1 apply.

4 Coding principles
4.1 Uniqueness
Each variety and processed form corresponds to a unique code.
4.2 Scientificity
By applying scientific research to decide the classification methods and principles, the most stable
properties, attributes, and characteristics of each Chinese medicine are used as basis for classification
and coding. Thus, the structure of 17 digits with 10 layers as coding rules for Chinese medicines covers
the information on medicinal source, medicinal part, specification, and processing method, which
respectively represent the basic characteristics, commercial attributes, and professional attributes of
Chinese medicines.
4.3 Scalability
The coding rules allow sufficient space for expansion.
4.4 Compatibility
The coding rules are consistent with relevant existing International Standards.
4.5 Stability
The code for decoction pieces remains unchanged once assigned.
The code for each Chinese medicine remains unchanged once assigned, as long as the basic characteristic
of the medicinal does not change. Even if some Chinese medicines are discontinued for production and
use, their codes should still be kept.
5 Coding structure
Coding rules are represented by 10 layers with 17-digit Arabic numerals in order. The structure is
encoded according to the rules in ISO 18668-1 as shown in Figure 1. See ISO 18668-1 for technical
requirements.
