The kickoff meeting for the compilation of the “Pesticide Compendium of the People’s Republic of China” by the Production/Formulation Group was held successfully.

　　On the morning of November 15, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Pesticide Testing Institute, China Pesticide The “People’s Republic of China” organized by the industrial association Pesticide The kickoff meeting for the compilation of the “Compendium” by the Production/Preparation Group was held in Beijing. Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Pesticide Deputy Chief Agronomist Zhang Wenjun of the Testing Institute, Director Liu Shaoren of the Supervision and Management Department, Deputy Director Wu Zhifeng of the Supervision and Management Department, China Pesticide Li Zhonghua, Secretary-General of the Industrial Association, attended the meeting. Participants came from China Agricultural University, Guizhou University, East China University of Science and Technology, Nankai University, and Shandong Province. Pesticide A number of experts from the Academy of Sciences, Sinochem Chemical Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., and Zhongnong Lihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd. attended the meeting. The session was chaired by Secretary-General Li Zhonghua.
　　At the meeting, as the “People’s Republic of China” Pesticide Classic》 (hereinafter referred to as “China”) Pesticide Zhang Wenjun, Deputy Chief Agronomist and Executive Deputy Director of the Compilation Office of the “Classic,” presented an overview of the compilation work, focusing on five key aspects: guiding principles, basic tenets, objectives, work plan, and editorial standards. Mr. Zhang noted that over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, China… Pesticide The industry has undergone earth‑shaking transformations, evolving from small workshop‑style imitation production to today’s integrated development encompassing R&D, manufacturing, and export. Pesticide A major manufacturing country, it has seen its international competitiveness steadily improve, with its innovation and overall capabilities continuously strengthening, ushering in a new phase of industrial development. “China” Pesticide The compilation of the “Classic” is in compliance with the new “…”. Pesticide The overall requirements for implementing the Regulations, in line with China’s… Pesticide Urgent needs in R&D, management, production, sales, and application, in line with… Pesticide The industry’s demand for green development, in line with the strategic imperatives of supply-side structural reform in agriculture and rural revitalization, will promote China’s… Pesticide Production, management, and use have been further standardized, while also filling a gap in the compilation and publication of China’s pharmacopoeia.
　　China Pesticide The compilation of the “Compendium” is being carried out in a specialized, phased, and batch‑wise manner, covering six key areas: product chemistry, manufacturing/formulation, pharmacology, toxicology, residue analysis, and environmental impact. Publication and distribution are scheduled for 2020. As a large-scale scientific and technical reference work with administrative normative authority, it adheres to the principle of integrating authority, scientific rigor, cutting-edge innovation, practical utility, and proven reliability. “China” Pesticide The “Standard” will serve as the industry-wide technical specification, user guide, and basis for compliance.
　　Regarding “China” Pesticide Director Liu Shaoren provided a detailed overview of the Production/Formulation Group’s positioning, job responsibilities, and specific issues. Director Liu emphasized that the group’s work revolves around… Pesticide The work encompasses manufacturing/preparation, packaging, formulation, and dosage forms, while addressing numerous specialized issues throughout these processes. Through communication and coordination with other teams, this group will focus on systematically reviewing, in phased stages, the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (including chemical reaction equations and synthetic procedures), packaging, and formulation processing.
　　Professor Wu Xuemin of the College of Science at China Agricultural University pointed out that, at present, registered… Pesticide Among the varieties, there is a wide array of formulated products; single‑ingredient and mixed formulations are extensively used, offering numerous options—making the choice a challenging task. “China” Pesticide As a reference work on scientific and technological tools, it is recommended that, during the organization and compilation of materials, widely recognized, mature manufacturing processes and representative dosage forms be selected, while also taking into account the varying international standards for pharmaceutical formulations.
　　With regard to the scope of this group’s work, the participating experts engaged in a detailed discussion, for example, on bio-based… Pesticide Methods for describing manufacturing processes, approaches to labeling special precautions for packaging and storage, descriptions of prohibited or restricted products, the rationale for phasing out certain processes, criteria for distinguishing between common and distinctive features of a process, the extent to which patent‑related and confidential technical information may be disclosed, the degree of transparency regarding factory production processes, references, and other relevant matters—along with reaching a consensus on these issues.
　　Secretary-General Li Zhonghua addressed questions on the spot and summarized the discussion, once again clarifying the nature and scope of this group’s work: Compared with other industries and sectors, Pesticide The issue of diversity in product manufacturing and dosage forms is particularly pronounced. We must conduct our work on the basis of scientific rigor, functional efficacy, and market relevance. At the same time, we hope that all experts, in the course of their participation, will fully leverage their roles to serve both the industry and society. Pesticide Inspire the human spirit, disseminate industry knowledge, and contribute to the development and advancement of the sector!
