9               Factors that must exist
At least one of the following factors must as a minimum exist before it can be said that a reasonable hypothesis has been raised connecting photocontact dermatitis or death from photocontact dermatitis with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)          having the affected area of skin exposed to light in the presence of a phototoxic agent within the 48 hours before the clinical onset of photocontact dermatitis;
Note: phototoxic agent is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(2)          for photoallergic contact dermatitis only, having the affected area of skin exposed to light in the presence of a photoallergen within the five days before the clinical onset of photoallergic contact dermatitis;
Note 1: photoallergen is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
            Note 2: The initial sensitising exposure to a photoallergen may be either systemic or cutaneous and may have occurred months to years before the re-exposure that has resulted in the photocontact dermatitis.
            Note 3: Cross-photosensitisation may occur between photoallergens (for example ketoprofen and sunscreens containing benzophenones).
(3)          having the affected area of skin exposed to light in the presence of a phototoxic agent within the 48 hours before the clinical worsening of photocontact dermatitis;
Note: phototoxic agent is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(4)          for photoallergic contact dermatitis only, having the affected area of skin exposed to light in the presence of a photoallergen within the five days before the clinical worsening of photoallergic contact dermatitis;
Note 1: photoallergen is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
            Note 2: The initial sensitising exposure to a photoallergen may be either systemic or cutaneous and may have occurred months to years before the re-exposure that has resulted in the photocontact dermatitis.
            Note 3: Cross-photosensitisation may occur between photoallergens (for example ketoprofen and sunscreens containing benzophenones).
(5)          inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for photocontact dermatitis.
