scope:

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of on-site paging equipment and ancillary equipment, used in privately owned and operated paging systems, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Technical specifications related to the antenna port and emissions from the enclosure port of the radio equipment are not included in this ETS. Such technical specifications are found in the radio product standard ETS 300 224 [1].

This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the method of measurements, the limits and the minimum performance criteria for on-site paging equipment, as specified in ETS 300 224 [1], operating on frequencies between 9 kHz and 470 MHz 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 [2], EN 50082-1 [3].

The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial environments. The levels however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with 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 requirements related to spectrum management or any requirement related to the use of the equipment (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.
