Technical regulations for the production of authentic medicinal materials - Angelica sinensis

1 Scope

GB/T 45190-2025 is the Chinese code of practice for producing Min Danggui, the Angelica sinensis root grown in the Min county area of Gansu that is the recognised daodi, or authentic geographical, source of the herb. Daodi is a genuine quality concept rather than a marketing one: the same species grown elsewhere does not accumulate the same constituents, and the traditional medicine trade prices accordingly, which makes a production standard both an agronomic document and a protection of origin. The standard sets the production technology flow, then the selection of the origin and the site conditions of soil, altitude and climate that define it, the seed and seedling production including the raising of transplants at altitude that this crop requires, the field preparation and planting, the fertilisation and water management, the control of pests, diseases and of premature bolting, which is the crop's characteristic loss, the harvesting time and method, and the processing, drying, grading, packaging and storage, together with the records that support the origin claim. It takes effect on 1 August 2025.

This document establishes the production procedures of the authentic Chinese medicinal material Angelica sinensis, and stipulates the production environment, seed and seedling breeding, field management, pest and disease prevention, and It provides instructions for the operation of the stages of treatment, harvesting, primary processing at the origin, packaging and storage, and describes the traceability methods such as production records and archives. This document applies to the cultivation, production and primary processing of Angelica sinensis in Minxian County, Gansu Province and neighboring ecologically similar areas.
