9               Factors that must exist
At least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, heat-induced burn or death from heat-induced burn is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)            having exposure to a heat source sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(2)          having exposure to high intensity, focussed ultrasound sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(3)          having exposure to ultraviolet radiation sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
Note: Some examples of potential ultraviolet radiation exposure include sun exposure, electric welding arc exposure, and PUVA therapy for skin conditions.
(4)          having exposure to solar radiation sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(5)          having laser applied, sufficient to cause at least erythema, at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(6)          having exposure to infrared radiation sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(7)          having exposure to radiofrequency or microwave radiation sufficient to cause at least erythema at the affected area of the body at the time of the clinical onset of heat-induced burn;
(8)          inability to obtain appropriate clinical management for heat-induced burn before the clinical worsening of heat-induced burn.
