Foreword
This Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic
compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.2] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive and associated
EFTA regulations.
National transposition dates
Date of adoption of this EN: 26 June 2017
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 30 September 2017
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 31 March 2018
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 March 2019

Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

1 Scope
The present document applies to on-site and wide area paging equipment, operating in the frequency range of 25 MHz
to 470 MHz.
An on-site paging system is a privately owned and operated wireless communication system, used in a restricted and
predefined area, with the primary function to alert and/or inform ambulant people. The air interface of the system, using
a single radio channel, comprises at least one transmitter. The system may be extended to include a return, or talk-back
frequency. Mainly used for call acknowledgement, this frequency may also be used to supply some of the features of a
mobile radio service, or other two-way radio services, without the need to use a separate system.
Covering a larger geographical area, a wide-area system is typically associated with large organizations such as
emergency services and may include additional radio facilities and utilize different a frequency for return messaging,
which is outside the scope of the present document. These features should be tested against the relevant standard.
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following equipment
types:
1) base station transmitters and transcoders, with or without an external 50 Ω antenna connector;
2) base station receivers, with a permanent 50 Ω connector;
3) paging receiver, with or without an external 50 Ω antenna connector.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Transmit 25 MHz to 470 MHz
Receive 25 MHz to 470 MHz
NOTE: Frequencies and frequency bands, used for on-site paging equipment, are not harmonised
throughout the community. The frequency band 47 MHz to 47,25 MHz and operating
frequencies or operating bands within 440 MHz to 470 MHz, are recommended by
CEPT/ECC in Report 25 [i.5].
The existence of a Harmonised Standard does not imply the availability of the above frequency spectrum for the
particular types of equipment covered by the present document.
The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU under the conditions
identified in annex A and contains requirements to demonstrate that ". Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it
both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference" [i.1].
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the Radio Equipment Directive [i.1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the
present document.

Foreword This Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.2] to provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1]. Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.

ETSI ETSI EN 300 224 V2.1.1 (2017-06) 8 1 Scope The present document applies to on-site and wide area paging equipment, operating in the frequency range of 25 MHz to 470 MHz. An on-site paging system is a privately owned and operated wireless communication system, used in a restricted and predefined area, with the primary function to alert and/or inform ambulant people. The air interface of the system, using a single radio channel, comprises at least one transmitter. The system may be extended to include a return, or talk-back frequency. Mainly used for call acknowledgement, this frequency may also be used to supply some of the features of a mobile radio service, or other two-way radio services, without the need to use a separate system. Covering a larger geographical area, a wide-area system is typically associated with large organizations such as emergency services and may include additional radio facilities and utilize different a frequency for return messaging, which is outside the scope of the present document. These features should be tested against the relevant standard. The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following equipment types: 1) base station transmitters and transcoders, with or without an external 50 Ω antenna connector; 2) base station receivers, with a permanent 50 Ω connector; 3) paging receiver, with or without an external 50 Ω antenna connector. These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1. Table 1: Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Radiocommunications service frequency bands Transmit 25 MHz to 470 MHz Receive 25 MHz to 470 MHz NOTE: Frequencies and frequency bands, used for on-site paging equipment, are not harmonised throughout the community. The frequency band 47 MHz to 47,25 MHz and operating frequencies or operating bands within 440 MHz to 470 MHz, are recommended by CEPT/ECC in Report 25 [i.5].
The existence of a Harmonised Standard does not imply the availability of the above frequency spectrum for the particular types of equipment covered by the present document. The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU under the conditions identified in annex A and contains requirements to demonstrate that ". Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference" [i.1]. In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the Radio Equipment Directive [i.1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. 2 References 2.1 Normative references References are specific, identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number.
