scope:

The present document describes the minimum requirements for digital radios, both domestic and in-vehicle, and the necessary test methods that lead to compliance with the requirements. It may be used as the technical basis for a Digital Radio Certification Mark scheme. A Digital Radio Certification Mark is designed to be used on product packaging and provides an easily recognized mark to correspond to public information campaigns on the necessary requirements for consumers to make a switch to digital radio. Manufacturers are, of course, free to include additional features or increased performance compared to the minimum requirements specified in the present document.

This version adds support for tuned ensemble alarm announcements for all receivers to the minimum requirements and provides clarification for the text display requirements which now accommodate the place of the regional profiles. There are consequential changes to the core technology testing and there are two additional product tests. These updates reflect changes to the DAB standards base since 2017.
