scope:

This ETS covers the requirements for the assessment of ERMES paging receivers and ancillary equipment in respect of Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and may be used to demonstrate presumption of compliance with the protection requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC [4], Article 4 (EMC Directive).

This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the method of measurements, the limits and the minimum performance criteria for ERMES paging receivers (as defined in ETS 300 133 [5]) and the associated ancillary equipment.

The environment classification used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in the Generic Standards EN 50081-1 [1], EN 50082-1 [2], except the vehicular environment class which refers to the ISO 7637 [6].

The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence.

This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomena 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.

Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to any requirement related to the use of the equipment (i.e. licensing requirements).

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