Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex (Rhus verniciflua Stokes Bark) as Anacardiaceae family plant doesn't have the standards on chemical characteristics in “Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia” . Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex were not recorded on Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Japanese Pharmacopoeia as the medicinal herbs. To suggest the new standard on the quality control, we monitored domestic Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex according to the standard operating procedures for herbal drugs. Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex were studied on purity(%), heavy metals, loss on drying(%), total ash, acid-insoluble ash (%) and extract contents(%) and compared to each other. Also, Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex were profiled and compared on chemical patterns using HPLC. These results would be references of the suggestion for the quality control of Rhois Vernicifluae Cortex in Korea.
