Article 3 All units or individuals in the People's Republic of China are required to abide by these Measures when they are engaged in research work， production， business， transportation， consumption， examination， supervision and administration work related to radioactive drugs. Article 4 The Ministry of Public Health is in charge of the supervisory and administrative work of radioactive drugs while the Ministry of Energy is in charge of the administration work concerning the production and sale of radioactive drugs. Chapter II Examination and Approval for the Development and Cli- nical Research of New Radioactive Drugs Article 5 “New radioactive drugs” refer to those radioactive drugs that are made in China for the first time. The annual plan of any drug research units for the development of new radioactive drugs must be submitted to both the Ministry of Energy for the record and to the health administration department at the provincial， autonomous regional or municipal （directly under the Central Government） level. Then an itemized plan made by the latter shall be presented to the Ministry of Public Health for the record. Article 6 The development of a new kind of radioactive drug includes the research work in its technological process， quality requirements， preclinico pharmacological study and clinical study； The research unit， when designing the technological process for a new drug， must study the physical and chemical properties， purity （including pureness of radionuclide）， testing method， pharmacology， toxicity， nuclein animal dynamics， radio specific activity， dosage， pharmaceutical forms and stability of that radioactive drug. Furthermore， the research unit must make a study of radio-immunity analysis container with respect to its scalability， range， specificity， accuracy， precision and stability. New kinds of radioactive drugs shall be classified in accordance with the provisions for the examination and approval of new pharmaceuticals. Article 7 Before the newly developed radioactive drug is put to clinical test or verification， an application together with the data and sample must be submitted to the Ministry of Public Health in accordance with the provisions for the examination and approval of new pharmaceuticals. The newly developed radioactive drug may be used for clinical study at an appointed hospital only after its application has been examined and approved by the Ministry of Public Health. Article 8 After completion of clinical study of a newly developed radioactive drug， the research unit must submit an application to the Ministry of Public Health for examination and approval. The latter shall consult the Ministry of Energy before granting a New Drug License. Article 9 Before a newly developed radioactive drug is put to production， the production unit or the research unit that holds a license for the production of radioactive drugs must submit an application together with a copy of New Drug License and sample to the Ministry of Public Health. After examination and verification， the Ministry of Public Health shall issue them document of approval. Chapter III The Production， Sales， Import and Export of Radio- active Drugs Article 10 The enterprises that produce or sell radioactive drugs are required to submit their production plan and business plan to the Ministry of Energy and a duplicate to the Ministry of Public Health.

Applications for the setting up of any enterprises to produce or sell radioactive drugs must be approved by the Ministry of Energy before the preparations start in accordance with related provisions. Article 12 Requirements for the setting up of enterprises to produce or sell radioactive drugs are that they must have the necessary conditions as stipulated in Article 5 of the Pharmaceutical Administration Law and that they must meet the essential standard of radio hygiene protection set by the State. They are also required to submit a report on environment impact to the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Public Health for examination and approval and then the health administration department in their province， autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government shall issue them “License for the Production Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs”， “License for the Business Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs”。 No enterprises without the license shall be permitted to engage in the production or sale of radioactive drugs. Article 13 The term of validity of “License for the Production Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs” and “License for the Business Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs” is five years. If needed， the enterprises engaged in the production or sale of radioactive drugs shall make a new application six months before the expiration to the health administration department which shall， in accordance with Article 12 of these Provisions， issue them a new license. Article 14 Before an approved pharmaceutical enterprise produces radioactive drugs with specifications already set by the State， it must forward an application which has to be examined and approved by the Ministry of Public Health in conjunction with the Ministry of Energy. If any changes in the technological process and specifications of the drugs previously approved by the Ministry of Public Health are to be made， the pharmaceutical factory shall be required to go through the same procedures for approval. Article 15 The production and business enterprises of radioactive drugs are required to employ technical personnel who are qualified for the work and to have safety and protection facilities as well as waste gas， liquid and material disposal facilities. They must also have a strict quality control system. Article 16 The production and business enterprises of radioactive drugs are required to set up quality inspection offices. The entire process of production must be put under strict qualify control and inspection. All radioactive drugs are subject to quality testing. Only the products that meet the State pharmaceutical standard shall be allowed to be shipped out from the factories. Products that are not up to the standard are not allowed out of the factory. As for the drugs with short half-life radionuclide previously approved by the Ministry of Public Health， they may be shipped out from the factory while having sample testing. If the drugs are found to be below the State pharmaceutical standard， the factory must stop the production and sale of the drugs immediately and inform consuming units to stop using the drugs without delay. A report about the case must be submitted to both the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Energy. Article 17 The production， supply and sale of radioactive drugs are under the unified administration of the Ministry of Energy. When ordering these stuff， the pharmaceutical factory must furnish a License for the Production Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs while the business unit must present a License for the Business Enterprise of Radioactive Drugs issued by the health administration department at the provincial， autonomous regional or municipal （directly under the Central Government） level. As for the medical treatment unit， they must order these drugs with a License for the Use of Radioactive Drugs jointly issued by the public security department， the environment protection department and health administration department at the provincial， autonomous regional or the municipal （directly under the Central Government） level. Article 18 The import and export business of radioactive drugs shall be handled by the units appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade in accordance with the State provisions related to foreign trade.
