Overview

SIST EN 300 019-1-7 V2.1.2:2006 is a European standard developed by SIST and ETSI for telecommunication equipment. This part of the Environmental Engineering (EE) series focuses on the classification of environmental conditions for portable and non-stationary use. It identifies environmental condition classes and test severities likely to be encountered by telecommunications equipment when it is moved, used in varying locations, or during periods of downtime, maintenance, and repair.

This standard ensures that equipment manufacturers and operators can assess and design products for reliable operation in a diverse range of portable and non-stationary environments. The defined severities are set so that the probability of environmental conditions being exceeded is generally lower than 1%.

Key Topics

Environmental Condition Classes
The document defines several classes based on factors such as temperature, humidity, mechanical stress, and presence of active substances. Key classes include:

  • 7.1 Temperature Controlled Locations: Equipment used and transferred between enclosed, climate-controlled environments (e.g., offices, telecommunication centers).
  • 7.2 Partly Temperature-Controlled Locations: Equipment in enclosed settings without temperature/humidity control (e.g., garages, industrial workshops).
  • 7.3 Partly Weatherprotected and Non-weatherprotected Locations: Equipment exposed to outdoor or partially sheltered environments, especially in warm or moderate climates.
  • 7.3E Extended Class: For equipment in harsh, non-weatherprotected outdoor locations, except in extremely cold climates.

Environmental Factors Addressed

  • Climatic conditions: temperature extremes, humidity, air pressure, solar and heat radiation, condensation, precipitation, and icing.
  • Mechanical impacts: vibration, shock, free fall, handling during transfer.
  • Chemical exposure: presence of corrosive gases and particulate matter, such as dust and salts.
  • Biological threats: growth of mold or fungus, presence of damaging animals (except termites).

Applications

Practical Value for Industry
This standard is essential for:

  • Telecommunications equipment manufacturers: Ensuring devices are designed for reliable performance during portable, non-fixed use and in varied environments.
  • System integrators and operators: Assessing appropriate equipment for deployment in non-stationary applications, such as mobile network elements, temporary installations, or test units.
  • Maintenance and service teams: Planning for environmental stresses equipment may face during repair, transfer, or downtime at different sites.
  • Product testing and certification: Defining the necessary environmental tests to ensure compliance with operational requirements in portable and non-stationary use scenarios.

Example Use Cases

  • Mobile base stations relocated between temporary service locations
  • Outdoor telecom equipment subject to transportation or periodic relocation
  • Equipment used in field service or maintenance operations in variable environments

Related Standards

  • IEC 60721-3-7: International standard for classification of environmental conditions and severities for portable and non-stationary use.
  • IEC 60068-2-27: International standard for environmental testing, especially shock methods relevant to portable equipment.
  • ETSI EN 300 019-1-8: Classification of environmental conditions for stationary use at underground locations.
  • ETSI ETR 035: Guidance and terminology for environmental engineering in equipment.

By following SIST EN 300 019-1-7 V2.1.2:2006, organizations can ensure telecommunications equipment meets robust environmental requirements for portable and non-stationary deployment, minimizing failures and extending service life in the field. This supports the delivery of reliable, high-quality telecom services in a diverse range of operational environments.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
absolute humidity: mass of water vapour in grammes which is associated with one cubic metre of dry air in an
air/watervapourmixture
non-weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is not protected from direct weather influences
portable and non-stationary use: equipment which may be moved frequently from place to place
NOTE: The total transfer time may amount to a significant portion of the equipment's lifetime. The equipment is
not permanently mounted on any structure or placed at a fixed site. The equipment may be operating
while being either in a stationary or in a transfer state.
relative humidity: ratio of the partial pressure of the water vapour in moist air at a given temperature, to the partial
pressure of the water vapour in saturated air at the same temperature
weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is protected from direct weather influences
NOTE 1: Partly weatherprotected location (sheltered location): direct weather influences are not completely
excluded.
NOTE 2: Totally weatherprotected location (enclosed location): direct weather influences are totally excluded.

4 Environmental classes
Two mechanical classes, 7M2 and 7M3, are used and cover all the environmental classes 7.1 to 7.3E.
The relevant class is determined by consideration of the expected handling, means of transfer and complete use-profile
of the equipment.
The special, severe, class 7M3 applies to use only in circumstances where the equipment is exposed to rough handling,
severe shocks and vibration e.g. from the means of transfer or rotating machinery.
The classes shown in parentheses, e.g. (7C1), may be selected for special applications.
4.1 Class 7.1: temperature controlled locations
This class is a combination of classes 7K1/7Z2/7Z4/7B1/7C2(7C1)/7S1/7M2 or 7M3 in IEC 60721-3-7 [1].
This class applies to use at, and direct transfer between, permanently temperature-controlled and enclosed locations.
Humidity is usually not controlled. The climatogram is shown in figure 1.
Heating, cooling or humidification is used, where necessary, to maintain the required conditions, especially where there
is a large difference between the internal climate and that open-air climate. Heating or cooling may be switched off for
periods but the occurrence of extremely high or low temperatures is prevented.
This class applies to use at, and transfer between, locations:
- where the equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and to heat radiation. It may also be exposed to
movements of the surrounding air (e.g. due to draughts in buildings through open windows) and to condensed
water. It is not subjected to precipitation, or water from sources other than rain or icing;
- without particular risk of b
