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 ).

Introduction

A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended to prevent, destroy or control any pest, unwanted species of plants or animals causing harm during, or otherwise interfering with, the production, processing, storage, transport or marketing of uncontaminated products. At present, there is no uniformly accepted international standard which defines maximum limits for pesticides in natural products used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), resulting in disputes about what levels should be considered acceptable.

This document was developed in response to worldwide demand for harmonization of the determination of pesticide residues. This document is applicable to natural products used in TCM.

For reference, the method of determination of pesticide residues by gas chromatography (GC) is provided in Annex A, the maximum limits of pesticide residues in natural products used in TCM are provided in Annex B and the recommended limits of pesticide residues in dried fruit and vegetables, which is similar to TCM materials or herbal medicine from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Drug Administration/Environmental Protection Agency (FDA/EPA), are given in Annex C.

1 Scope

This document specifies the method of determination of pesticide residues in natural products used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by gas chromatography (GC), including Chinese materia medica (whole medicinal materials) and decoction pieces derived from plants.
