Overview

ISO 20334:2018 - Traditional Chinese medicine - Coding system of formulae defines a standardized coding system for TCM formulae. The standard specifies rules to encode formulae and provides specific codes for 1,233 frequently-used formulae (1,165 in Annex B and 68 Korean formulae in Annex C). Chinese patent medicines (CPM) and Kampo formulae are explicitly outside the scope. ISO 20334:2018 is intended for use in TCM databases, electronic medical records (EMR), prescriptions and clinical, research and teaching systems.

Key technical topics and requirements

• Coding principles: Uniqueness (each formula has a unique code), scalability (space for expansion) and stability (codes remain unchanged unless formula characteristics change).
• Seven-layer coding structure: The code uses 10 Arabic digits arranged in seven layers that classify and identify each formula by category, action and sequence number.
  • Layer 1: category of agriculture/medicine - formulae use “0” (per ISO 18668‑1)
  • Layer 2: product code of Chinese medicines - symbolized by “6”
  • Layer 3: formula category - symbolized by “0”
  • Layer 4: main code (2 digits) - action-based categories (e.g., exterior‑releasing, purgative, harmonizing, heat‑clearing; Sasang constitution codes 41–44)
  • Layer 5: subdivided code (1 digit) - secondary classification under main action
  • Layer 6: sequence number (3 digits) - ordinal position in code tables
  • Layer 7: check digit (1 digit) - calculated according to ISO/IEC 15420 (see Annex A)
• Coding technology: Classification is action-oriented and intended for machine-readable databases and bar-code-compatible implementations (check digit per ISO/IEC 15420).
• Normative annexes: Annex A (check digit calculation), Annex B (codes of formulae), Annex C (Korean formulae codes).

Practical applications and users

ISO 20334:2018 is designed for:

• Hospitals and TCM clinics implementing standardized TCM prescriptions in EMRs and e-prescribing systems
• Clinical informatics and software vendors building medication databases, decision support and interoperability layers
• Researchers and educators maintaining consistent formula references for teaching and scientific studies
• Regulators and quality managers tracing prescriptions and monitoring safe use of formulae Benefits include improved interoperability, traceability, clearer recordkeeping, and facilitation of international academic exchange of formulae.

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 15420 - Automatic identification and data capture techniques - EAN/UPC bar code symbology (used for check digit calculation)

Introduction
The botanical market has great potential; botanical research has been highly regarded and Chinese
medicines are gradually becoming increasingly recognized and approved in international markets.
Many countries have achieved remarkable success in the exploitation of Chinese medicines, including
the application of alternative therapies and the search for pharmaceutical sources. More and more
countries are becoming involved in the Chinese medicines trade. 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.
More than 70 countries have established Chinese medicines regulations. Many countries are developing
traditional medicine vigorously, which brings more opportunities for trade and exchange in Chinese
medicines.
The purpose of this document is to:
1) specify coding rules for formulae, identify 1 233 formulae, ensure safe and effective application of
formulae;
2) assist practitioners to use formulae correctly, and promote standardization, normalization and
informatization of formula administration;
3) promote the wide application of TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions;
4) enable source‐tracing and controllability of electronic medical records and prescriptions in
procedures of diagnosis and prescribing, in order to build a more fair and transparent information
system;
5) expand the international academic exchange of formulae, and provide technical support for the
standardization of prescribing;
6) help different countries to establish a standard management system of formulae and Chinese
medicine prescriptions, aiming to make the application and management of formulae more
effective, safeguard the vital interests of patients, and promote sustainable development of the
whole industry.
This document specifies rules to encode formulae, and gives specific codes for 1 233 frequently‐used
Formulae (1 165 formulae in Annex B and 68 formulae in Annex C). The criteria for selecting the
formulae are:
[93] [131]
— classic works, such as The Inner Canon of Huangdi (黃帝內經) , Treatise on cold (傷寒論) ,
[98]
Synopsis of Golden Chamber (金匱要略) , treatise on differentiation and treatment of epidemic

4 Coding principles
4.1 Uniqueness
Each formula corresponds to a unique code.
4.2 Scalability
The coding rules allow sufficient space for expansion.

4.3 Stability
The code for each formula remains unchanged once assigned, as long as the basic characteristic of the
formula does not change. Even if some formulae are discontinued for use, their codes should still be
kept.
5 Coding technology
5.1 Structure
Formulae are classified according to action. The structure consists of seven layers, with 10 Arabic digits
in total, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — Coding structure of formulae
5.2 Detailed description
5.2.1 Layer 1
Layer 1 is in categories of agriculture, forestry, pasture husbandry, fishery and Chinese medicines;
formulae belong to Chinese medicine, symbolized by “0”, in accordance with ISO 18668‐1.
5.2.2 Layer 2
Layer 2, the product code of Chinese medicines, is symbolized by “6”, in accordance with ISO 18668‐1.
5.2.3 Layer 3
Layer 3, the category code of formulae, is a special code for formula, symbolized by “0”.
5.2.4 Layer 4
Layer 4, the main code, is symbolized by two digits. The most frequently‐used efficacy are selected as
the basis for formula classification. Main codes from “01” to “20” are traditionally classified into 20
categories as exterior‐releasing formulae, purgative formulae, harmonizing and releasing formulae and
so on. In addition, main codes from “41” to “44” are classified into 4 categories as Sasang constitution.
See Table 1 for details.
5.2.5 Layer 5
Layer 5, the subdivided code, is a secondary classification under the main code of action, symbolized by
one digit. For example, exterior‐releasing formulae are classified as pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing
formulae, pungent‐cool exterior releasing formulae, healthy‐qi‐reinforcing and exterior‐releasing
formulae, and exterior‐interior‐releasing formulae. There are 68 secondary classifications in total. See
Table 1 for details.
5.2.6 Layer 6
Layer 6, the sequence number of formulae, symbolized by three digits, is the order number of the
formulae located in the code table. Take Ephedra decoction for example, “001” indicates that Ephedra
decoction is the first kind of pungent‐warm exterior releasing formula in Table B.1.
5.2.7 Layer 7
Layer 7, the check digit, symbolized by one digit from “0” to “9”, is calculated by the method in
ISO/IEC 15420. See Annex A for details.

6 Example
Ephedra Decoction, exterior‐releasing formula, with the action of releasing exterior with pungent‐
warm, which contains Ephedra (encoded as 06141050500104003 according to ISO 18668‐2),
Cinnamon Twig (06154520200103001), Chan Bitter Apricot Seed (06156140600100820), Processed
Liquorice Root (06156310300203354), is encoded as “0 6 0 01 1 001 7”. The first two numbers “06” in
layer 1 and layer 2 represent the product of Chinese medicines; the third number “0” in layer 3
represents formulae; the fourth and fifth number “01” in layer 4 represent exterior‐releasing formula;
the sixth number “1” in layer 5 represents pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing formula; the seventh,
eighth and ninth number “001” in layer 6 represent the first kind of pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing
formula in the table; check digit “7” is calculated by the method given in ISO/IEC 15420. As shown in
Figure 2.

Annex A
(normative)
Calculation of check digit
A.1 Serial number of code location
This indicates the serial number of the 14 digits from the right to the left, among which the check digit is
specified as 1.
A.2 Calculation steps
Calculate the check digit by the method in ISO/IEC 15420.
Calculation steps are shown as follows.
a) Sum up the digits located below even serial numbers from serial number 2, to get Result 1.
b) Multiply Result 1 by 3 to get Result 2.
c) Sum up the digits located below odd serial numbers from serial number 3, to get Result 3.
d) Sum up Result 2 and Result 3 to get Result 4.
e) Substract Result 4 by a number which is larger or equal to Result 4, and also be the smallest multiple
of 10, to get the digit of check digit.
For example, the calculation of code 0600110017 is demonstrated in Table A.1.

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

Introduction
The botanical market has great potential; botanical research has been highly regarded and Chinese
medicines are gradually becoming increasingly recognized and approved in international markets.
Many countries have achieved remarkable success in the exploitation of Chinese medicines, including
the application of alternative therapies and the search for pharmaceutical sources. More and more
countries are becoming involved in the Chinese medicines trade. 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.
More than 70 countries have established Chinese medicines regulations. Many countries are developing
traditional medicine vigorously, which brings more opportunities for trade and exchange in Chinese
medicines.
The purpose of this document is to:
1) specify coding rules for formulae, identify 1 233 formulae, ensure safe and effective application of
formulae;
2) assist practitioners to use formulae correctly, and promote standardization, normalization and
informatization of formula administration;
3) promote the wide application of TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions;
4) enable source‐tracing and controllability of electronic medical records and prescriptions in
procedures of diagnosis and prescribing, in order to build a more fair and transparent information
system;
5) expand the international academic exchange of formulae, and provide technical support for the
standardization of prescribing;
6) help different countries to establish a standard management system of formulae and Chinese
medicine prescriptions, aiming to make the application and management of formulae more
effective, safeguard the vital interests of patients, and promote sustainable development of the
whole industry.
This document specifies rules to encode formulae, and gives specific codes for 1 233 frequently‐used
Formulae (1 165 formulae in Annex B and 68 formulae in Annex C). The criteria for selecting the
formulae are:
[93] [131]
— classic works, such as The Inner Canon of Huangdi (黃帝內經) , Treatise on cold (傷寒論) ,
[98]
Synopsis of Golden Chamber (金匱要略) , treatise on differentiation and treatment of epidemic
[164] [9][10]
febrile disease (溫病條辨) , and Chinese pharmacopoeia ;
— experts’ manuals for tertiary and second‐class hospitals’ evaluation of hospital management by
[13][14]
TCM State Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau ;
— the Acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioners’ qualification exam guide of the United States
[61]
(Chinese and English) ;
— national project textbooks of Chinese medicine (Version 9): Chinese internal medicine, Surgery of
Chinese medicine, Chinese paediatrics, Chinese gynaecology, and formulae of Chinese
[33][34][35][36][37]
medicine ;
— a complete collection of Chinese famous doctors’ Formulae (9031 in total), Traditional Chinese
[63]
formula dictionary (11 volumes in total), and Traditional Chinese medicine dictionary .

4 Coding principles
4.1 Uniqueness
Each formula corresponds to a unique code.
4.2 Scalability
The coding rules allow sufficient space for expansion.

4.3 Stability
The code for each formula remains unchanged once assigned, as long as the basic characteristic of the
formula does not change. Even if some formulae are discontinued for use, their codes should still be
kept.
5 Coding technology
5.1 Structure
Formulae are classified according to action. The structure consists of seven layers, with 10 Arabic digits
in total, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — Coding structure of formulae
5.2 Detailed description
5.2.1 Layer 1
Layer 1 is in categories of agriculture, forestry, pasture husbandry, fishery and Chinese medicines;
formulae belong to Chinese medicine, symbolized by “0”, in accordance with ISO 18668‐1.
5.2.2 Layer 2
Layer 2, the product code of Chinese medicines, is symbolized by “6”, in accordance with ISO 18668‐1.
5.2.3 Layer 3
Layer 3, the category code of formulae, is a special code for formula, symbolized by “0”.
5.2.4 Layer 4
Layer 4, the main code, is symbolized by two digits. The most frequently‐used efficacy are selected as
the basis for formula classification. Main codes from “01” to “20” are traditionally classified into 20
categories as exterior‐releasing formulae, purgative formulae, harmonizing and releasing formulae and
so on. In addition, main codes from “41” to “44” are classified into 4 categories as Sasang constitution.
See Table 1 for details.
5.2.5 Layer 5
Layer 5, the subdivided code, is a secondary classification under the main code of action, symbolized by
one digit. For example, exterior‐releasing formulae are classified as pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing
formulae, pungent‐cool exterior releasing formulae, healthy‐qi‐reinforcing and exterior‐releasing
formulae, and exterior‐interior‐releasing formulae. There are 68 secondary classifications in total. See
Table 1 for details.
5.2.6 Layer 6
Layer 6, the sequence number of formulae, symbolized by three digits, is the order number of the
formulae located in the code table. Take Ephedra decoction for example, “001” indicates that Ephedra
decoction is the first kind of pungent‐warm exterior releasing formula in Table B.1.
5.2.7 Layer 7
Layer 7, the check digit, symbolized by one digit from “0” to “9”, is calculated by the method in
ISO/IEC 15420. See Annex A for details.

6 Example
Ephedra Decoction, exterior‐releasing formula, with the action of releasing exterior with pungent‐
warm, which contains Ephedra (encoded as 06141050500104003 according to ISO 18668‐2),
Cinnamon Twig (06154520200103001), Chan Bitter Apricot Seed (06156140600100820), Processed
Liquorice Root (06156310300203354), is encoded as “0 6 0 01 1 001 7”. The first two numbers “06” in
layer 1 and layer 2 represent the product of Chinese medicines; the third number “0” in layer 3
represents formulae; the fourth and fifth number “01” in layer 4 represent exterior‐releasing formula;
the sixth number “1” in layer 5 represents pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing formula; the seventh,
eighth and ninth number “001” in layer 6 represent the first kind of pungent‐warm exterior‐releasing
formula in the table; check digit “7” is calculated by the method given in ISO/IEC 15420. As shown in
