scope:

The present document covers the assessment of radiocommunication and ancillary equipment in respect of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Technical specifications related to the antenna port are found in the related product standard ETS 300 065 [9] for the effective use of the radio spectrum.

The present document specifies the applicable EMC tests, the test methods, the limits and the minimum performance criteria for Narrow-Band Direct-Printing (NBDP) NAVTEX receivers operating in the maritime mobile service and the associated ancillary equipment.

The electromagnetic environment used in the present document to develop the technical specifications encompasses the electromagnetic environment on board ships as identified in EN 60945 [10].

The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus in maritime environments. The levels do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but have a low probability of occurrence.

Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any requirements related to the use of the equipment.

Compliance to the present document does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observations regarding apparatus becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests defined in the present document, should be recorded in the test report.
