The principal conclusion of a workshop in October 2005 at RIVM (Bilthoven, The Netherlands) on the assessment of field studies with pesticides for authorization is that the lack of a definition of acceptability of effects is recognized as a problem by all stakeholders: Industry, risk assessors, and regulators. Because of this lack of definition in the legislation, it is unclear what critical effect values should be assessed in field studies. Despite the extensive documentation on field study performance, the decision making is not based on justifiable scientific opinions or publicly shared values but on technical limitations of the test design instead. In the workshop, research was identified that should result in a scientific basis for value judgments applied in decision making.
2005年10月在荷兰比尔瑟姆的国家公共卫生与环境研究所（RIVM）举办了一场关于评估用于农药授权的田间研究的研讨会，其主要结论是，所有利益相关者（行业、风险评估人员和监管机构）都认识到缺乏对效应可接受性的定义是一个问题。由于立法中缺乏这一定义，在田间研究中应评估哪些关键效应值尚不清楚。尽管有关于田间研究表现的大量文献资料，但决策并非基于合理的科学意见或公众共享的价值观，而是基于测试设计的技术局限性。在研讨会上，确定了一些研究，这些研究应能为决策中应用的价值判断提供科学依据。
