scope:

The present document contains the common requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary equipment, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

Product dependent arrangements necessary to perform the EMC tests on dedicated types of radio communications equipment, and the assessment of test results, are detailed in the appropriate product related parts of EN 301 489 series [i.13].

The present document, together with the product related part, specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of measurement, the limits and the performance criteria for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between part 1 of EN 301 489 series [i.13] and the relevant product related part of EN 301 489 series [i.13], the product related part takes precedence.

Technical specifications related to the antenna port of radio equipment and radiated emissions from the enclosure port of radio equipment and combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment are not included in the present document. Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum.

The environment classification used in the present document refers to the environment classification used in:

• EN 61000-6-3 [i.4] and EN 61000-6-1 [i.5] for the residential, commercial and light industrial environment; or

• TR 101 651 [i.6] for the telecommunication centre environment; or

• ISO 7637-2 [8] for the vehicular environment.

The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus intended to be used in the environments mentioned above. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with low probability of occurrence.

For radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment intended to be installed in motor vehicles (i.e. ESAs) and not related to immunity related functions of the vehicle, additional technical requirements necessary to demonstrate conformance to the motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [i.8], are set out in annex B (normative) of the present document.

The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomenon is permanently present, e.g. a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the source of interference or the interfered part or both.

Where none of the existing specific product related radio parts covers the required conditions for a particular radio equipment/service e.g. in case of the initial introduction of a new radio service or a special application, the present document can be used together with specific information for the radio equipment provided by the manufacturer, for the purposes of testing to the EMC requirements set out in the present document.

In all cases where a radio product falls within the scope of a specific product related radio part of the standard, the product related part takes precedence.

Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any requirements related to spectrum management or to the use of the equipment (licensing requirements).

Compliance to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment to record in the test report any observations regarding the test sample becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests called for in the present document.

NOTE: Radio equipment for use in maritime environment is covered by other ETSI EMC standards.
