Hello Everyone

We had a chance to discuss this at a meeting yesterday and we would propose the following:
 

Change:

“Note: Further verification is needed to substantiate this user need for standard development purposes.”
 

To

“Note: Further verification is needed to substantiate this user need for standard development purposes. For example, while there is no evidence that people are sensitive to electromagnetism it is, however, clear that users have embedded devices (eg pacemakers, bionic interfaces to replacement limbs) and attached devices (eg drug-pumps, or alarm cords) which may be sensitive to electromagnetism and are actually part of the “user”.”
 

I hope that this will be acceptable – should you require any further clarification please contact me.

Best Wishes
