AB -  Workshop Proceedings from the 1992 Environmental Mutagen Society Meeting. Marilyn J. Aardema The assessment of the genotoxic potential of a chemical is often performed well in advance of data submission to a regulatory agency. Therefore, to help insure acceptability of the data to the regulatory agencies, it is important that testing be conducted according to methods that meet current regulatory guidelines. Clearly, this becomes a difficult task when the target is moving, as is the case when guidelines are being updated. For materials intended to be marketed worldwide the problem becomes even more complex when the guidelines around the world are undergoing revision. Since this is the current situation, the focus of this workshop was to provide a forum to disseminate the latest thinking regarding genotoxicity testing guidelines. In the articles that follow, Dr. Sofuni (National Institute of Hygenic Sciences, Japan) describes the Japanese testing guidelines; Dr. Kirkland (Hazleton Microtest, U.K.) provides both official and unofficial views of genotoxicity testing in Europe; the proposed Canadian Health Protection Branch mutagenicity test guidelines, discussed by D . r George Douglas (Health & Welfare, Canada) at the workshop, are also provided; and Dr. Auletta (U.S. EPA) provides information on the new
