(Main)Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM) - Maritime mobile transmitters and receivers for use in the MF and HF bands - Part 3: Harmonized EN covering essential requirements under article 3.3(e) of the R&TTE Directive - Equipment with integrated or associated equipment for Class E Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
- Abstract
The present document states the minimum requirements for radio transmitters and receivers, for use on ships, operating in either the Medium Frequency (MF) only or in the Medium and High Frequency (MF/HF) bands allocated in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations [1], to the Maritime Mobile Service (MMS). The present document includes the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and ITU requirements included in the relevant provisions of the Radio Regulations [1], the International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) [3], the IMO Resolutions A.694(17) [5] and A806 (19) [4] and is primarily intended to specify equipment suitable for fitting to ships subject to the SOLAS convention and complying with the European Marine Equipment Directive [20]. The present document refers to equipment for one or more of the following: -Single SideBand (SSB) modulation for telephony transmission and reception (J3E); -Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or SSB modulation of a keyed sub-carrier to transmit and receive Digital Selective Calling (DSC) signals in accordance with ITU-R Recommendation M.493-10 [6]. The present document also refers to radio equipment, which is not integrated with the DSC encoder or decoder, but defines the interfaces with such equipment. NOTE:The requirements for integrated equipment may be found in other relevant ETSs. The tests in the present document are applicable to receivers for operating on all frequencies in the bands 1 605 kHz to 4 000 kHz or 1 605 kHz to 27,5 MHz as allocated in the Radio Regulations [1], to the MMS. Other spot frequency receivers should meet all the requirements of the present document and other relevant standards as applicable for the frequencies and modes provided. If the equipment, or parts of it, are designed in such a manner that they can be used for other categories of maritime radiocommunication (e.g. Morse telegraphy or NBDP (ETS 300 067 [10]), those parts of the equipment should fulfil the relevant requirements of the appropriate standards for the service(s) in question e.g. ETS 300 067 [10]. The EMC parameters defined in the clauses of this standard covering emission tests and immunity test (see clauses 8 and 9) have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus in marine environments. Compliance to the EMC requirements of this standard does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment to record in their test report any observations regarding the test sample becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests called for herein. The present document does not address the testing of ancillary equipment on a stand-alone basis, i.e. separately from the radio equipment with which it is to be used.

SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1 for maritime mobile radio equipment. It covers shipboard transmitters and receivers in the MF and MF/HF bands, including Single SideBand (SSB) telephony and Digital Selective Calling (DSC), and it sets the minimum requirements used to show conformity with article 3.3(e) of the R&TTE Directive.
The standard is aimed at equipment used in the Maritime Mobile Service (MMS), especially ship radios fitted with an integrated DSC controller or a dedicated interface for one. In practice, it tells manufacturers, test labs and buyers what the equipment must do, what it must withstand, and how it is checked.
What does SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 specify?
SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 specifies the minimum technical and environmental requirements, plus the test methods, for maritime radio transmitters and receivers used on ships in MF and MF/HF bands. It focuses on equipment for telephony and DSC, and it is structured around requirements in clause 4 and test methods in clause 5.
The scope covers:
- MF operation from 1 606,5 kHz to 4 000 kHz
- MF/HF operation from 1 606,5 kHz to 27,5 MHz
- SSB telephony using J3E
- DSC using FSK or SSB modulation of a keyed sub-carrier
- radios with an integrated DSC controller or a dedicated DSC controller interface
The document is organized into clause 1 scope, clause 2 references, clause 3 definitions, symbols and abbreviations, clause 4 technical requirements, clause 5 testing, Annex A HS-RTT, Annex B official language titles, and Annex C bibliography.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010?
SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 requires the radio to be usable in marine conditions, operable on the specified bands, and verifiable by defined tests. The requirements matter because they link the bridge operating layout, radio performance, and environmental endurance to a clear conformity route.
- Clause 4.2.2.1 requires the equipment to include the DSC functions or a dedicated DSC controller interface. This matters because the radio must be able to support distress and calling functions in the intended system arrangement.
- Clauses 4.2.2.3 to 4.2.2.5 require clear controls, illumination, labelling, distress frequency marking and protection against mishandling. In practice, operators must be able to find the right control quickly and the set must tolerate power transients, polarity reversal and memory interruptions.
- Clauses 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 define the operating bands, emission classes and warm-up behavior. The radio must cover the declared MF or MF/HF channels, support J3E and DSC modes, and be ready after the stated stabilization period.
- Clause 4.2.5 requires manual audio gain, Automatic Gain Control (AGC), output indication, and compliance of the radio-DSC combination with EN 300 338-4 for Class E DSC. This tells the user what the set must do when receiving weak signals and how the DSC part is judged.
- Clauses 4.3.1 to 4.3.4 set vibration, temperature, humidity, corrosion and rain requirements. These are the marine-environment checks that show the equipment can survive shipboard exposure.
- Clauses 4.4.1 to 4.4.18 set performance limits for transmitter stability, telephony audio quality, residual noise, DSC modulation, receiver frequency error, pass band, reciprocal mixing, harmonic content, intermodulation, spurious signals, AGC behavior and input protection. These are the functional limits that determine whether the radio remains usable and stable in service.
- Annex A maps each requirement to a test specification and marks whether the test is essential or other. For compliance work, this table is the quick route from a requirement to the relevant test clause.
What terms does SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 define?
- Automatic Gain Control (AGC) - receiver control that keeps the audio output from changing too much when the RF input level varies.
- Digital Selective Calling (DSC) - a maritime calling system used for distress, urgency, safety and routine calls.
- Single SideBand (SSB) - a telephony mode used here under J3E for voice transmission and reception.
- Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) - a digital modulation method used for DSC signals.
- Maritime Mobile Service (MMS) - the maritime radio service that the equipment is intended to serve.
- Peak Envelope Power (PEP) - the transmitter power measure used for telephony performance limits and tests.
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) - the ratio used in receiver tests to judge how clearly a wanted signal stands out from noise.
Who uses SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010?
SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, marine electronics engineers, test houses, conformity assessors, and ship outfitters. It is also relevant to quality managers and buyers who need to specify or verify radios for SOLAS-related marine use and Class E DSC operation.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010?
- ITU Radio Regulations - define the maritime MF and HF bands and the assigned frequencies used throughout the standard.
- ETSI EN 300 373-2 - provides the companion technical characteristics and measurements for Part 2, including the output-power reference used in several tests here.
- ETSI EN 300 338-4 - gives the Class E DSC technical characteristics and controller requirements used for integrated or external DSC operation.
- ISO 3791 and ITU-T Recommendation E.161 - define acceptable digit layouts for digital input panels.
- ETSI TR 100 028 - provides the method for measurement uncertainty used in clause 5.2.
- CENELEC EN 60945 - gives general marine equipment construction and testing guidance noted in the foreword and clause 4.2.2.2.
What does the SIST EN 300 373-3 V1.2.1:2010 document contain?
The document contains requirement clauses, test procedures, measurement conditions, and acceptance limits for marine MF and MF/HF radios. It includes environmental test methods for vibration, dry heat, damp heat, low temperature cycle, corrosion and rain, plus radio performance tests for telephony and DSC.
Figure 1 gives the limit shape for telephony level control, and Figure 2 gives the audio frequency response window. Table 2 sets maximum measurement uncertainty values, and Annex A provides the HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications Table used for presumption of conformity.

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC (as amended) [i.2] laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations and following the Commission Decision 2004/71/EC [i.5] of
4 September 2003.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] are given in annex A.
The present document is part 3 of a multi-part deliverable covering Maritime mobile transmitters and receivers for use
in the MF and HF bands, as identified below:
Part 1: "Technical characteristics and methods of measurement";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive";
Part 3: "Harmonized EN covering essential requirements under article 3.3(e) of the R&TTE Directive;
Equipment with integrated or associated equipment for Class E Digital Selective Calling (DSC)".

1 Scope
The present document applies to radio transmitters and receivers, for use on vessels operating in either the Medium
Frequency (MF) 1 606,5 kHz to 4 000 kHz bands only, or in the Medium and High Frequency (MF/HF) 1 606,5 kHz to
27,5 MHz bands allocated in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations [1], to the Maritime
Mobile Service (MMS).
The present document refers to equipment for one or more of the following:
- Single SideBand (SSB) modulation for telephony transmission and reception (J3E);
- Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or SSB modulation of a keyed sub-carrier to transmit and receive Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) signals.
The present document refers to radio equipment, which is either fitted with an integrated DSC controller or fitted with a
dedicated interface for a DSC controller.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive) article 3.3 e),
which states that radio equipment within the scope of the present document shall be so constructed that: "it supports
certain features ensuring access to emergency services".
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 R&TTE Directive [i.1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
