SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 489-1 Version 1.5.1. It gives the common electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) technical requirements for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment, so manufacturers and test labs can assess emission and immunity behaviour for radio products and services.

What does SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 specify?

SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 specifies the common EMC requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary equipment. It is the shared part of the EN 301 489 series, and the product-related part takes precedence whenever there is a difference in special conditions, definitions, abbreviations, test arrangements, or performance criteria.

The scope covers EMC tests, methods of measurement, limits, and performance criteria for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. It excludes antenna-port technical specifications and radiated emissions from the enclosure port of radio equipment and combinations of radio and ancillary equipment, because those are normally handled by the relevant product standards for spectrum use.

The document is organized into clauses 1 to 9, followed by Annex A and Annex B:

  • Clauses 1 to 3 cover scope, references, definitions, and abbreviations.
  • Clauses 4 to 6 set test conditions, performance assessment, and performance criteria.
  • Clause 7 gives applicability overview tables.
  • Clauses 8 and 9 cover emission and immunity tests.
  • Annex A links clauses to essential requirements of the EMC Directive and the R&TTE Directive.
  • Annex B gives the title in the official languages.

The scope also says the requirements in EN 300 386 shall be taken into account, and it notes an amendment to sub-clause 9.8.2 to align with EN 55024.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005?

SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 requires manufacturers to define the test conditions, the intended use, and the performance limits before EMC testing starts. In practice, this means the test report must record the operating mode, environmental conditions, cabling, port list, modulation, and any limits on duration or thermal operation.

Test conditions and documentation

Clause 4 requires testing under normal test conditions within the manufacturer’s declared humidity, temperature, and supply-voltage range. The setup must represent intended use, and the report must record the configuration and operating mode.

Clause 5 requires the manufacturer to supply detailed information for assessment, including the primary functions, intended functions, user controls, stored data, modulation, communication-link verification method, frequency bands, cable lengths, and intended environments. For equipment that does not provide a continuous communication link, the manufacturer must define acceptable performance or degradation and the method used to check it.

Clause 5.5 classifies equipment as fixed use, vehicular use, or portable use. Multiple-use equipment can fall into more than one class, which matters because that changes which EMC tests apply.

Emission requirements

Clause 7 and clause 8 use a port-based approach to emissions. Fixed-use equipment is subject to conducted emissions on DC and AC ports, harmonic current emissions, voltage fluctuations and flicker, and telecommunication-port emissions. Portable equipment is treated differently, with fewer conducted-emission requirements.

Clause 8.2 covers radiated emissions from ancillary equipment measured on a stand-alone basis and uses EN 55022 methods and limits. Clause 8.3 and clause 8.4 cover DC and AC power ports, including artificial mains network (AMN) measurements over 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Clause 8.7 covers telecommunication ports with EN 55022 methods and limits.

Clause 8.5 and clause 8.6 bring in EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3, and EN 61000-3-11 for higher current equipment. In practice, buyers and labs need to know whether the product draws from AC mains, DC ports, or telecom lines, because each port type has its own check.

Immunity requirements

Clause 9 sets the main immunity tests. Radio frequency (RF) field immunity uses 3 V/m from 80 MHz to 1 000 MHz and 1 400 MHz to 2 000 MHz, with exclusions for product-specific RF bands. Electrostatic discharge uses 4 kV contact discharge and 8 kV air discharge.

Fast transients apply to AC power ports, and to signal, telecommunication, control, and DC ports when cables may be longer than 3 m. RF common mode immunity applies from 150 kHz to 80 MHz. In both cases, the practical result is that the equipment must keep operating as intended, or recover to an acceptable state, without unintended transmission or data loss.

Vehicular transients and surges in clause 9.6 apply to mobile equipment and use ISO 7637-1 or ISO 7637-2, depending on 12 V or 24 V systems. Clause 9.7 covers voltage dips and interruptions on AC power, while clause 9.8 covers surges on AC power and telecommunication ports, with different levels for outdoor cables, indoor cables, and telecommunication-centre installations.

Clause 6 sets the pass-fail logic. For continuous phenomena, the equipment should keep operating as intended, and for transient phenomena some temporary degradation is allowed during exposure if normal function returns afterward.

What terms does SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 define?

  • Ancillary equipment - Equipment used with a receiver or transmitter to add control or operating features, but not able to provide user functions on its own.
  • Base station equipment - Radio and/or ancillary equipment for fixed installation, powered directly or indirectly from AC mains or an extended local DC network.
  • Host equipment - Equipment that keeps its own user functionality without the radio part, while the radio module adds extra functionality.
  • Equipment Under Test (EUT) - The item being tested for EMC performance.
  • Integral antenna - An antenna that the manufacturer states cannot be removed during the test.
  • Mobile equipment - Equipment intended for use in a vehicle and powered by the vehicle battery.
  • Portable equipment - Equipment intended for handheld or other portable use, powered by its own integral battery.
  • Telecommunication port - A port intended for connection to telecommunication networks or local area networks such as Ethernet.

Who uses SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005?

SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, ancillary equipment suppliers, EMC test laboratories, and conformity assessment staff. Quality managers and buyers use it to understand what test evidence is needed for radio products in fixed, vehicular, and portable applications.

It is especially relevant when a product has radio transmitters and receivers, connected power ports, or telecommunication ports that need EMC testing. The document is also used when a product-specific part of EN 301 489 is available, because that part adds the special conditions for the exact radio service or equipment type.

What changed in SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.5.1:2005 from the previous edition?

This edition is EN 301 489-1 Version 1.5.1. The scope states two notable points associated with this version: sub-clause 9.8.2 was amended to align with EN 55024, and the requirements in EN 300 386 are to be taken into account.

Foreword
This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical
Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
It did not achieve the required quorum during the Vote phase, and is now submitted for a second Vote phase of the
ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [4] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
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 Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (89/336/EEC [2] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC 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" [1]).
The present document is based upon the Generic Standards EN 61000-6-3 [5] and EN 61000-6-1 [6] and other
standards, where appropriate, to meet the essential requirements of Council Directives 89/336/EEC [2] and
1999/5/EC [1] respectively.
It is important to note, that the present document does not include the technical requirements, necessary to demonstrate
conformance to the amended version of EMC directive for motor vehicles 95/54/EC, for factory fitted equipment, and
after market equipment that is intended to be installed in a motor vehicle. An updated version of the present document
EN 301 489-1 (V1.6.1), has been prepared to include these requirements and is moving into the ETSI Two-step
Approval Procedure.
The present document, and the product related parts of it are based on the current EMC standards published by ETSI. It
should be noted that the majority of these EMC standards have also been published in the Official Journal of the
European Commission.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present
document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements
are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to
be specified by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC
Directive [2].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [1] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive [1] may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in an equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published;
- it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of
conformity assessment.

Figure 2: The new radio EMC harmonized standard
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part EMC standard for radio equipment which is structured in the following
way:
• One EMC standard for all radio equipment made up of several parts.
• All common technical requirements for EMC emission and immunity have been placed in the present
document, which is the present document.
• Separate parts have been developed to cover specific product related radio equipment test conditions, test
arrangements, performance assessment, performance criteria, etc.
• A clause is included in each of the specific radio parts, entitled "special conditions", which is used as
appropriate to cover any deviations or additions to the common requirements set out in the present document.
To demonstrate an adequate level of EMC protection, the present document is to be used together with the appropriate
specific radio part of the standard.
It is recognized that there may be circumstances where none of the existing specific product related radio parts covers
the required conditions for a particular radio equipment/service e.g. in case of the initial introduction of a new radio
service or a special application. In this situation the present document can be used together with specific information for
the radio equipment provided by the manufacturer, for the purposes of testing to the EMC requirements set out in the
present document.
In all cases where a radio product falls within the scope of a specific product related radio part of the standard, the
product related part takes precedence.

1 Scope
The present document contains the common requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary
equipment, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Product dependent arrangements necessary to perform the EMC tests on dedicated types of radio communications
equipment, and the assessment of test results, are detailed in the appropriate product related parts of EN 301 489.
The present document, together with the product related part, specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of
measurement, the limits and the performance criteria for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. In case of
differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviation) between this part and the relevant
product related part of EN 301 489, the product related part takes precedence.
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of radio equipment and radiated emissions from the enclosure port
of radio equipment and combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment are not included in the present
document. Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the
radio spectrum.
The environment classification used in the present document refers to the environment classification used in:
• EN 61000-6-3 [5] and EN 61000-6-1 [6] for the residential, commercial and light industrial environment; or
• TR 101 651 [16] for the telecommunication centre environment; or
• ISO 7637-1 [14] and ISO 7637-2 [15] for the vehicular environment.
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus intended to be
used in the environments mentioned above. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any
location but with low probability of occurrence. The applicable environment(s) shall be declared by the manufacturer
and shall be in accordance with the equipment documentation.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomenon 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 the present document does not signify compliance to any
requirements related to spectrum management or to the use of the equipment (licensing requirements).
Compliance to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any safety requirements.
However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment to record in the test report any observations regarding
the test sample becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests called for in the present
document.
NOTE: Radio equipment for use in maritime environment is covered by other ETSI EMC standards.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus), used in connection with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE: It is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a receiver or transmitter to provide additional
operational and/or control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another
position or location); and
the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis to provide user functions independently of a
receiver or transmitter; and
the receiver or transmitter, to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended
operation such as transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment (i.e. it is not a
sub-unit of the main equipment essential to the main equipment basic functions).
base station equipment: radio and/or ancillary equipment intended for operation at a fixed location and powered
directly or indirectly (e.g. via an AC/DC converter or power supply) by the AC mains network, or an extended local DC
mains network
continuous phenomena (continuous disturbance): electromagnetic disturbance, the effects of which on a particular
device or equipment cannot be resolved into a succession of distinct effects
NOTE: See IEC 60050-161 [19].
enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge
NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.
host equipment: any equipment which has a complete user functionality when not connected to a radio
communications equipment, and to which this radio equipment provides additional functionality, and to which
connection is necessary for this radio equipment to offer additional functionality, and in which the transceiver part of
the radio equipment is physically installed
NOTE: This also covers any device that would accept a variety of radio modules, where the original user
functionality of the host equipment is not affected.
