The Ministry of Justice has published Provisions on the Classification of Forensic Expertise
in Forensic Medicine lately. This document incorporated Polygraph Testing into forensic considerations
in judicial authentication, which helps to legitimate the use of Polygraph Testing results as evidence,
promote theoretical research on using assessment results authenticating documents, and regulate
assessment process and professional qualification licensing. However, the definition of testing in this
document is inconsistent with the current practice of Polygraph Testing in China, and the particularity
of testing different from psychiatric identification is not considered, which is not conducive to the
sustainable development of the testing industry.
