The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification for herbal medicine should be grasped in order to study herbal medicine using public open data such as health insurance data or adverse drug event reporting data. In this study, herbal medicinal materials and ingredients from the domestic and foreign pharmacopeia were mapped to herbal medicinal products on the market in Korea, and then herbal medicines were classified ATC codes. As a result, 9,644 herbal medicines and 187 ATC codes were identified and of these, 62 ATC codes consisting of only herbal medicine were included and 2,345 products corresponded. A total of 62 ATC codes could be applied to public open data studies, but they are part of the total herbal medicine, and a new herbal ATC (HATC) code classification is required for the study of herbal medicine.
