Analysis and Suggestions on Re-test Judgment Changes in National Drug Sampling and Testing

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for improving the test accuracy of drugs that do not comply with specifications in drug sampling and testing. METHODS Analyzed the relevant policies and regulations for drug re-test and the reasons for re-test judgment change in national drug sampling and testing, and made suggestions for reducing the rate of re-test judgment change. RESULTS In the past 6 years, the re-test judgment change phenomenon had been common in national drug sampling and testing, and the overall rate of re-test judgment rate was as high as 13.97%. The main reasons included uneven sample quality, the difference in ability levels between different test institutes and the difference in subjective judgments of different analysts. CONCLUSION It is suggested to standardize sampling, testing and to incorporate assessments to improve work quality and reduce the rate of re-test judgment change.
