Current status and analysis of biosafety standards in China 1993 to 2023
Biosafety standards are an important reference for biosafety management.This article based on the year of issuance of the standare,the aplicable aspects of the'Biosafety Law of the People's Republic of China,'and the nature of the standards.Three-dimensional structural model were refered to,a total of 5002 biosafety standards were collected from 1993 to 2023,distributed across quarantine inspection,public safety,food,forestry,agriculture,health,and pharmaceutical sectors.Among these,there were 1 804 national standards and 3 198 industry standards,group or local standards were not involved.The results of analysis indicated that although the current biosafety standards in China covered a wide range of industries which including quarantine inspection,healthcare,and agriculture,the content of the standards was not comprehensive and these focused mainly on the two fields of'prevention and control of major emerging infectious diseases and epidemics in animals and plants'and'biotechnology research,development and application.'Furthermore,there were issues with the aging and overlapping of biosafety standards in China.Therefore,clarifying the responsibility boundaries and coordination mechanisms in different fields,ensuring the integrity and systematization of the standards system,updating outdated standards,enhancing the consistency of standard enforcement,and accelerating the construction of the standards system are of great importance for the management of biosafety and for safeguarding the biosafety of our country.
