scope:

The present document together with EN 301 843-1 [1], covers the assessment of VHF radiotelephone transmitters and receivers for the maritime mobile service, and ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Technical specifications related to the antenna port and emissions from the enclosure port of marine radiotelephone transmitters and receivers are not included in the present document. Such technical specifications are found in the related product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum. The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment, and performance criteria for VHF radiotelephone transmitters and receivers for the maritime mobile service, and the associated ancillary equipment. Examples of types of radiotelephone transmitters and receivers for the maritime mobile service covered by the present document are given in annex A. In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present document and EN 301 843-1 [1], the provisions of the present document take precedence. The electromagnetic environment used in the present document to develop the technical specifications encompasses the electromagnetic environment onboard ships as identified in EN 60945 [5].
