F. Medical Certification Following Probation Period: before resuming boxing after any of the periods of rest prescribed in the 3 preceding paragraphs, a boxer must be certified by a neurologist as fit to take part in Muaythai competition following, if possible, a special examination,  EEG and , if necessary, CCT. The results of that examination as well as the permission to resume fighting shall be entered in the boxer’s book.




G. R.S.C.H: the referee will indicate to the Jury and Judges to annotate the scorecard “R.S.C.H” when he has stopped the contest as a result of a boxer being unable to continue as a result of hits to the head.  RSCH is a term to be used only when a boxer is being saved from a knockout after having received hard hits making him defenseless and incapable of continuing (the term RSCH is not to be used when a boxer is simply outclassed and is receiving too many scoring hits without scoring himself).




H. Protective Measures: any boxer having lost a hard bout with many hits to the head or having been knocked down several times in some consecutive contests, may not be permitted to take part in Muaythai competition or training for a period of at least 4 weeks after the last contest on the advice of the Medical Officer should he decide that it would be necessary. 




All protective measures should also apply if a knock-out occurs during training.
