    After many years of clinical experience in Qigong and Acupuncture we feel it more and more necessary to look for a higher level of reliability in formulation of prescription of acupuncture.  It is not enough just to puncture, it is necessary to know where and when to puncture as well as in which way and for how much time to puncture.  To respect the scientific parameters, the correct therapeutic methods should always be repeatable with the highest reproductivity by different operators.  In order to obtain the highest therapeutic reliability, one formulation must comprehend the intention of the proposing author in the actual state of art, there still exists the considerable confusion in the method and in the most serious cases it regards even the topographical location of the point.  At present we need, on international level one standard which permits such high level of therapeutical reliability and reproductivity of acupuncture.  The proposal is born from such important lack.  The therapeutic standard is proposed with a different evalution of 15 parameters. 
1) STANDARD OF MERIDIAN OF ACUPUNCTURE
2) STANDARD OF THE POINT OF MERIDIAN OF ACUPUNCTURE 
3) STANDARD OF THE POINT OF EXTRA MERIDIAN OF ACUPUNCTURE 
4) STANDARD OF TOPOGRAPHY OF ACUPOINT 
5) STANDARD OF TONIFICATION OR DISPERSION OF ACUPOINT
6) STANDARD OF DIRECTION OF THE NEEDLE INSERTED IN THE POINT 
7) STANDARD OF THE DEPTH OF THE INSERTION OF NEEDLE 
8) STANDARD OF INCLINATION OF THE NEEDLE INSERTED
9) STANDARD OF THE MOXIBUSTION OF THE ACUPOINT
10)STANDARD OF THE ELECTROSTIMULATION OF THE ACUPOINT
11)STANDARD OF THE INSERTION OF NEEDLE IN SKIN
12)STANDARD OF SCARIFICATION AND BLEEDING
13)STANDARD OF CUPPING
14)STANDARD OF INSERTION OF TWO NEEDLES IN ONE ACUPOINT
15)STANDARD OF FLYING NEEDLE
Surely, with passing time, as well as experiences and advices, these parameters will be modified and arrive at their most simple expression.
