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, photocontact dermatitis or death from photocontact dermatitis is connected 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.
