STUDY ON STRATEGY TO ESTABLISH FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY LABORATORY GUIDELINES IN JAPAN

研究了在日本建立法医毒理学实验室准则并解决其实践的特殊目标的可能战略。通过查阅从西方法医毒理学专家那里获得的参考文件和文献，然后通过与日本同行的讨论，我们试图为每个实验室准备标准操作程序手册，并将手册与西方法医毒理学实验室指南的每一项进行比较，将所有项目归类为当前和近期可行的事项和不可行的事项。考虑到上述情况，我们制定了日本法医毒物实验室指南草案，供法医毒物实验室在不久的将来能够遵守，并编制了法医毒物药物检测采样和样品处理指南草案的修订版。这些指南将用于改进日本的法医毒理学实践。作为研究的最后阶段，我们计划与我们的小组一起尝试熟练测试，然后寻找可能的策略，在日本建立法医毒理学实验室认可制度。

A study was made of possible strategies to establish forensic toxicology laboratory guidelines in Japan and to address special goals of their practices. It was achieved by examining reference documents and literature obtained from Western forensic toxicologists, and then by having discussions with our Japanese colleagues.We tried to prepare standard operating procedure manuals of each laboratory, compared the manuals with each item of Western forensic toxicology laboratory guidelines and classified all items into three categories, feasible matters in the present and in the near future, and impracticable ones.Taking into account the above things, we made out a draft of Japanese forensic toxicology laboratory guidelines to which forensic toxicology laboratories are able to conform in the near future and prepared a revised edition of the draft of sampling and sample treatment guidelines for forensic toxicology drug testing. These guidelines will be available for the improvement of Japanese forensic toxicology practices.We are planning, as the final stage of our research, to try a proficiency testing with our small group and then to search for possible strategies to establish forensic toxicology laboratory accreditation system in Japan.
