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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/

Introduction
Being a significant part of traditional medicine systems and general health services, traditional Chinese
medicine is estimated to be used in over 180 countries and regions around the world. This is reflected
by the statistics cited from the WHO report that there are 4 billion people in the world using herbal
medicines, accounting for 80 % of the total world population. Asia, North America, and Europe are
regarded as the major markets for herbal medicines. Moreover, incomplete Chinese customs statistics
show that the import and export of herbal medicine products in China was worth over 4,7 billion USD in
2015. Therefore, it is very important to develop globally harmonized standards in order to ensure the
safety of consumers. In particular, those herbal medicines which have been reported to cause adverse
drug reactions (ADR) are drawing much attention from national health administrations.
There are a great number of single herbs on the market; for instance, 618 kinds of herbs have been
included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Currently, organizations, regions and
countries including ISO, WHO, the European Union, China, Japan, Korea, the USA, the UK and Thailand
are making valuable contributions by developing standards for single herbs. This document presents
a list of single herbal medicines in order of priority for the purposes of developing standards on single
herbs in a scientific and orderly manner. This document can be used as a reference by any organization
wishing to develop standards on single herbal medicines.
The following factors have been considered in setting the priorities:
— the trade volume of each single herbal medicine in the global market;
— whether the herbal medicine is recorded by the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, Hong
Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the Korean Pharmacopoeia, the
European Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopoeia or the Thai Herbal Pharmacopoeia;
— whether there are potential risks from its use;
— whether the herbal medicine is listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
[27]
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) ;
— opinions from experts.

development of international standards.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

4 Principles
4.1 Herbal medicines which have a large international trading value are listed as high priority.
4.2 Standards of common herbal medicines recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic
of China, Hong Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the Korean
Pharmacopoeia, the European Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopoeia and the Thai Herbal
Pharmacopoeia are listed as high priority.
4.3 Herbal medicines that have safety concerns, such as those widely reported to cause ADR, are listed
as high priority.
4.4 Single herbal medicines for which there are existing ISO standards are listed as high priority.
4.5 Herbal medicines which are included in CITES are listed as low priority.
5 Technical indexes
5.1 International trading
