It is actually not easy for research and development itself to judge which research results will actually lead us in the direction of truly benefiting society. Thus, it is essential for us to make efforts toward sound evaluation and unbiased judgment to ensure safety and to provide the most desirable products. Research activities that support this kind of effort can be regarded as"Regulatory Science, "which can be recognized as an important field of science having independent goals and measures not found in either the basic or applied sciences. From the viewpoint of research itself, the field can best be described as"evaluation science"and from the viewpoint of actual practice, the field might best be described as an"administrative science."Regulatory science must transcend the purely academic results of basic research. The knowledge that is required for this task must always be one step ahead of today's technology in order to evaluate tomorrow's products that are being developed with ever-advancing high technology. The research domain of regulatory science requires full utilization of available knowledge in order to make the final evaluation of the material itself and its impact on the environment. Therefore, the research that can help us to produce accurate estimates is actually of greater value than the discovery of new materials or mechanisms.
