中药饮片将有“电子身份证”

Core Viewpoint - The National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) is seeking public opinion on the "Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Decoction Pieces Traceability Code Encoding Rules," which aims to establish a nationwide unified traceability code system for TCM decoction pieces, ensuring transparency in their production and sales processes [1] Group 1: Traceability Code System - Each TCM decoction piece will have a unique "electronic ID," allowing consumers to access information about its origin, production, and sales processes by scanning a code [1] - The proposed traceability code framework includes both "static information" (such as product name and classification) and "dynamic information" (specific to the smallest sales packaging unit) [1] - The "absolute static information" will serve as the identity marker for the decoction pieces, while "relative static information" will focus on the source of the medicinal materials, including whether the cultivation base meets Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards [1] Group 2: Implementation and Feedback - The NHSA has outlined two specific traceability code encoding schemes to facilitate rapid implementation and to include internationally recognized identification information [1] - Public feedback on the proposed encoding structure, key information, traceability connections, technical adaptation, and implementation is encouraged, with a deadline for comments set for January 6, 2026 [1]
