EN 300 342-1 Radio Equipment and Systems (RES); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for European digital cellular telecommunications system (GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1800 MHz) Part 1: Mobile and portable radio and ancillary equipment

This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication and ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

Technical specifications related to the antenna port and emissions from the enclosure port of radio equipment are found in the related product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum.

This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of measurement, the frequency range, the limits and the minimum performance criteria for Phase 1 and Phase 2 GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1 800 MHz digital public cellular mobile and portable radio equipment, transmitting and receiving speech and/or data, and the associated ancillary equipment.

Base station equipment operating within network infrastructure is outside the scope of this ETS. However, this ETS does cover mobile and portable equipment that is intended to be operated in a fixed location while connected to the AC mains.

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 ISO 7637 Part 1 [3] and Part 2 [4].

For the purposes of this ETS, Mobile Stations (MS) are considered to be radio communications equipment.

The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus in residential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular 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.
