SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 is the SIST version of ETS 300 607-1 Edition 8 for GSM Phase 2 Mobile Station conformance testing. It specifies how a Mobile Station (MS) is tested for radio performance, signaling, SIM/ME interface behavior, speech, SMS, supplementary services, and related terminal features.
What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 specify?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 specifies the conformance test specification for a Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) GSM Mobile Station (MS), Part 1, based on GSM 11.10-1 version 4.21.1. In practice, it tells a tester how to check whether an MS behaves correctly under defined radio conditions, signaling sequences, and service scenarios.
The document is organized from general test principles to detailed test families:
- Clauses 1 to 9 cover scope, references, definitions, test equipment, methodology, reference methods, measurement uncertainty, and test format.
- Clause 10 gives generic call set-up procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech and data calls.
- Clauses 11 to 36 cover the main conformance areas: radio performance, mobility and cell behavior, protocol layers, SIM/ME interface, bearer services, speech teleservices, supplementary services, SMS, battery detection, and special test functions.
- Annex A includes the artificial ear item used in speech teleservices testing.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A.3.2.8 | Artificial ear for speech teleservices tests |
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005?
The document’s main requirement is that an MS must be tested against the applicability rules and procedures defined for each capability. Many tests apply to all MS, while others apply only if the MS supports a specific speech, data, SIM, multiband, or supplementary-service function. This matters because the test plan must match the declared features of the device.
Test applicability and test setup
Clause 3 defines the MS configurations, applicability rules, conventions, and radio test conditions. Clause 4 sets the expectations for test equipment, and clause 5 explains the general testing method for layers 1, 2, and 3. Clause 5.4 also relies on information from the apparatus supplier, which means the test house needs the correct device configuration and declared capabilities before testing starts.
Call set-up procedures and service signaling
Clause 10 gives the standard call set-up sequences for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech calls and data calls. These procedures include paging, channel request, authentication, ciphering, setup, assignment, and connect phases. In practice, this is the baseline sequence used before many service-specific tests, so the MS must respond correctly at each stage for the higher-level tests to be meaningful.
Radio transmitter, receiver, and transceiver behavior
Clauses 12 to 14 cover the RF behavior of the MS. Clause 12 checks conducted and radiated spurious emissions in both allocated-channel and idle-mode conditions. Clause 13 covers frequency error, phase error, output power, burst timing, output RF spectrum, and intermodulation attenuation. Clause 14 checks receiver behavior such as bad frame indication, reference sensitivity, usable input level range, co-channel rejection, adjacent-channel rejection, intermodulation rejection, blocking, spurious response, and AM suppression.
These tests matter because they show whether the MS can transmit and receive within the RF limits expected by the GSM system. For a buyer or quality team, they are the core evidence that the radio section is stable, accurate, and robust enough for network use.
Mobility, cell selection, and handover
Clauses 15 to 20 address timing advance, reception time tracking speed, access times during handover, temporary reception gaps, channel release after unrecoverable errors, and cell selection and reselection. Clause 20 is especially broad: it covers cell selection, reselection timing, priority of cells, handling of serving-cell deterioration, emergency calls, downlink signaling failure, and multiband cell selection and reselection.
In practice, these clauses check whether the MS can move between cells and recover from poor radio conditions without losing service unexpectedly. That is important for daily use because it affects call continuity, idle-mode behavior, and how quickly the device finds or returns to a suitable cell.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol conformance
Clauses 25 and 26 test the signaling layers in detail. Clause 25 checks layer 2 initialization, information transfer, disconnection, link failure, invalid frames, and control-field errors. Clause 26 covers layer 3 functions such as channel request, IMSI attach and detach, paging, immediate assignment, measurement reporting, handover, frequency redefinition, ciphering mode setting, classmark handling, channel release, authentication, identification, location updating, MM connection handling, and circuit-switched call control.
These tests matter because they verify that the MS follows the GSM control procedures used by the network. If these procedures fail, the device may register incorrectly, miss calls, or behave unpredictably during handover or ciphering.
Services, SIM/ME interface, and user-facing features
Clauses 27 to 31 and 33 to 36 cover the SIM/ME interface, autocalling restrictions, bearer services, facsimile, speech teleservices, supplementary services, speech transcoding, user-interface behavior, SMS, low battery detection, and special conformance functions. Clause 27 includes identification, PIN and PUK handling, FND, SIM presence detection, and electrical tests. Clause 31 includes call forwarding, call restriction, AoCC, USSD, and message content handling.
For a reader selecting a test program, this means the standard goes beyond radio performance. It also checks what the user sees and what the MS does during real service use - for example call barring, charging information, SMS handling, and SIM security behavior.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 define?
The document uses a number of core GSM terms consistently so that tests are unambiguous.
- Mobile Station (MS) - the device being tested, including its radio and protocol behavior.
- Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) - the system context for which the conformance tests are written.
- Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - the charging-related service tested in call and charging scenarios.
- Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - the restricted dialling feature checked as a non-support or support case.
- Short Message Service (SMS) - the messaging service covered in mobile originated, mobile terminated, and cell broadcast tests.
- Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - a numbering and service context used in the support and non-support tests.
- Unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) - the supplementary service message handling tested through user input and network-initiated procedures.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005?
SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 is used by MS manufacturers, test laboratories, and quality or approval teams that need a repeatable GSM conformance test plan. It is also useful to buyers and technical evaluators who need to understand what a device was tested against.
Manufacturers use it to design verification and compliance test programs for radio, signaling, SIM, speech, and messaging functions. Test labs use it to set up the required call flows, RF conditions, and capability-dependent cases. Quality managers and buyers use it to check whether the MS supports the services they need, such as SMS, speech, data, handover behavior, or supplementary services.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 from the previous edition?
The listed update items are mainly editorial corrections and test-case adjustments across several clauses. The document also adds a few clarifications and new test purposes.
- Editorial modifications were made to applicability tables and test descriptions, including section 3.2.2, section 12.1.1.4.2, sections 22.2 and 22.5, and Annex 3.2.3.1/3/4.
- The scope notes corrections and updates in transmitter and receiver-related sections, including frequency error and phase error, echo loss, multiband cell reselection, and the use of artificial ear type 3.2.
- Several corrections were made in clause 26, including sections 26.10.2.3, 26.10.2.5.3, 26.12.2.1.3, 26.12.2.2, 26.7.4.3.4, and 31.6.2.4.
- Clause 29 received added and revised checkpointing cases, including total loss of response to checkpointing, no response, end of a sequence, end of a window, checkpoint recovery mode, transmission window, and total loss of UA frame.
- The document adds a test purpose in 26.11.3 for L2 pseudolength different from 18 in SysInfo 2ter.
- Phase 1 references were removed from the affected test text where the scope notes that they no longer apply.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005?
The document uses other GSM specifications as the technical basis for some of its test limits and behavior.
- GSM 05.05 - provides RF performance limits used for spurious emissions, output spectrum, output power, and other transmitter-related conditions.
- GSM 05.10 - provides timing and frequency-related requirements used for frequency error, phase error, burst timing, and related transmitter tests.
- GSM 05.02 - is referenced where Phase 2 MS behavior in a Phase 1 network is checked.
- GSM 02.07 - is referenced for autocalling restriction categories and related behavior.
What does the SIST ETS 300 607-1 E8:2005 document contain?
The document contains detailed test descriptions rather than just summary requirements. Across its clauses it provides applicability tables, initial conditions, step-by-step procedures, specific message contents, test purposes, and test requirements for many MS functions.
It also includes detailed tables for bearer capability coding, default message contents, and capability-specific cases such as handover, cell reselection, ciphering, and charging behavior. Some clauses include figures and timing relationships used to set up the test sequence or measure access and delay behavior.
For practical use, this means the standard supports laboratory testing, product verification, and conformance audits by telling the tester exactly what scenario to apply and what behavior to observe.
