Objectives : To present a criteria for acupuncture standardization, which will improve quality of acupuncture and secure safety, through studies of the biocompatibility of acupuncture. Methods : The acupunctures distributed in Korea were studied. Acute poisonous tests and pyrogenicity materials tests were executed to study the biocompatibility of acupuncture. Results & Conclusions : All 3 acupunctures distributed in Korea were found suitable for medical use, through acute poisonous tests and pyrogenicity materials tests. But the medical instrument standards of the Korea Food and Drug Administration about acupuncture lacks the criteria concerning acute poisonous tests and pyrogenicity materials tests. The criteria for these tests should be standardized in order to secure the biocompatibility of acupuncture
