Micro shocks from cages or drinking apparatus should be eliminated. Source, strain and sub-strain of animals should be specified. SPF animals and facilities require special care and trained personnel. The SPF status must be monitored throughout the experiment. The protocol should meet the letter and spirit of all relevant regulations concerning experiments using human subjects, and have prior approval of all relevant review boards.
Personnel working with volunteers require special training and oversight.
Where appropriate, positive as well as negative controls should be used. The protocol should meet the letter and spirit of all relevant regulations and have prior approval of all relevant review boards. Study designs should recognize that the exposure metric for possible effects of weak ELF and weak RF fields is uncertain. Determinations of subjects' exposures, particularly historical exposures that are often determined via surrogates, should be validated from specific measurements where possible. Data should include as much information relevant to alternate metrics as possible to aid future research.
