Abstract:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed rapidly in the world, but the TCM international standard system has not been established, affecting the healthy development of TCM. To develop TCM international standardization strategy must master the current technical legislation and regulation status related to TCM. Through TM/CAM legislative investigation of the 4 Participating Countries of ISO/TC249 in western Pacific region, the author found that:Member states already have national policy on TM/CAM; laws and regulations on herbal product production, marketing, regulatory and management practitioners have already been enacted;TM/CAM practitioners in larger quantities, a higher education was required for practitioners and standardized management. This indicated that there is a good environment for TCM development in western Pacific region.
