Overview
SIST EN 300 019-1-3 V3.1.1:2026 is a European Standard developed by SIST and based on ETSI specifications. It addresses environmental engineering for telecommunications equipment, focusing specifically on the environmental conditions and tests relevant to stationary use at weatherprotected locations. This standard classifies the environmental conditions and their severities at such locations, which equipment may encounter throughout its operational life including installation, maintenance, repair, and downtime. The conditions defined are severe enough that they have a low probability (generally less than 1% of operational time per year) of being exceeded.
Proper environmental classification is fundamental for ensuring the reliability and longevity of telecommunications equipment in various built environments, particularly those that are weatherprotected but may still be exposed to a variety of indoor and indirect environmental influences.
Keywords: environmental conditions, classification, telecommunications equipment, stationary use, weatherprotected locations, environmental testing, SIST, ETSI
Key Topics
Environmental Classes: The standard defines several environmental classes relevant to stationary use at weatherprotected locations:
- Class 3.10: Temperature-controlled enclosed locations (no humidity control)
- Class 3.11: Enclosed locations with neither temperature nor humidity control
- Class 3.12: Locations with neither temperature nor humidity control and possible partial weather protection
Environmental Parameters: Specifies temperature, humidity (relative and absolute), air pressure, solar and heat radiation, and air movement. These parameter ranges ensure equipment can tolerate typical climate variability within buildings.
Chemical and Biological Factors: Addresses exposure to chemically active substances (e.g., sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone) and biological factors such as the presence of mold, fungi, and certain animals (excluding termites).
Mechanical and Seismic Conditions: Outlines requirements to withstand vibration, shock, dust, and even severe earthquake events, referencing the latest international methods for seismic testing and mechanical stress.
Test Severities: Environmental severities are calibrated for less than 1% probability of being exceeded annually, providing reliable benchmarks for product testing and validation.
Applications
SIST EN 300 019-1-3 V3.1.1:2026 is crucial in the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of telecommunications and IT equipment in protected indoor environments, such as:
- Telecommunication Centers and Data Centres: Ensures robust operation for servers, switches, and networking hardware in controlled yet potentially variable internal environments.
- Office and Commercial Spaces: Relevant for telecom equipment installed in workplaces, retail outlets, and computer halls where environmental controls may vary.
- Industrial Environments: Applies to process plant buildings or workshops where internal conditions can fluctuate due to heating, ventilation, emissions, or proximity to industrial processes.
- Unattended Installations: Critical for equipment located in garages, stairwells, or utility rooms, where oversight is minimal and exposure to indirect environmental impacts is possible.
This standard enables manufacturers, operators, and maintainers to specify appropriate equipment solutions, anticipate environmental stresses, and conduct suitable environmental testing in support of reliable telecommunications infrastructure.
Related Standards
To provide a robust framework for environmental classification and testing, this standard references several key European and international standards:
- IEC 60721-2-6: Classification of environmental conditions - Earthquake vibration and shock
- IEC 60721-3-3: Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities - Stationary use at weatherprotected locations
- IEC 60068-3-3: Environmental testing - Seismic test methods for equipment
- ISO 9223: Corrosion of metals and alloys - Corrosivity of atmospheres
Complementary standards in the EN 300 019 series address environmental conditions for storage, transportation, non-weatherprotected locations, ground vehicles, ship environments, portable use, and underground locations. These documents collectively guide environmental engineering best practices for telecom and electronic equipment across all deployment scenarios.

4 Environmental classes
4.1 Class 3.10: Temperature-controlled enclosed locations
having no humidity control
Class 3.10 is a combination of classes 3K22/3Z2/3B1/3S6/3M11 in IEC 60721-3-3 [2], and C1 in ISO 9223 [4], see
Tables 1 to 6 in clause 5.
The climatogram is shown in Figure 1.
Seismic environment: zone 4 as defined in IEC 60721-2-6 [1]. Option zone 4 (modified Mercalli scale ≥ 9): if earthquake
conditions are specified by the customer, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.
This class shall apply to a permanently temperature controlled enclosed location. Humidity usually not controlled. The
climatogram is shown in Figure 1. Exceptional conditions may apply in specific cases (e.g. external extreme
environmental conditions) and these exceptional conditions are shown in Figure 1 where they are described as 3.10E in
clause 5.1 but this is not a separate class.
NOTE: The exceptional conditions described as 3.10E in Figure 1 are not defined in IEC 60721-3-3 [2].
Heating or cooling are used to maintain the required conditions - especially where there is a significant difference
between the room environment and the external ambient. The climate-controlling systems could be periodically
switched on or off but extremely high or low temperatures are prevented.
This class shall apply to locations:
• where installed equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and to heat radiation. It may also be exposed to
movements of the surrounding air due to draughts in buildings. They are not subjected

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
absolute humidity: mass of water vapour in grams which is associated with one cubic metre of dry air in an air/water
vapour mixture
cooling system: system that controls or influences climate by decreasing the air temperature only
NOTE: This can decrease the absolute humidity.
data centre: all buildings, facilities, offices and rooms which contain enterprise servers, server communication
equipment, cooling equipment and power equipment, and provide some form of data service
NOTE: E.g. large scale mission critical facilities all the way down to small server rooms located in office
buildings.
heating system: system that controls or influences climate by increasing the air temperature only
NOTE: This can decrease the relative humidity.
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
stationary use: use of equipment which is mounted firmly on a structure, or on mounting devices, or permanently
placed at a certain site
NOTE: It is not intended for portable use, but short periods of handling during erection works and for which
down time, maintenance and repair at the location are included.
weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is protected from direct weather influences
EXAMPLE 1: Totally weatherprotected location (enclosed location):
direct weather influences are totally excluded.
EXAMPLE 2: Partly weatherprotected location (sheltered location):
direct weather influences are not completely excluded.

4 Environmental classes
4.1 Class 3.10: Temperature-controlled enclosed locations
having no humidity control
Class 3.10 is a combination of classes 3K22/3Z2/3B1/3S6/3M11 in IEC 60721-3-3 [2], and C1 in ISO 9223 [4], see
Tables 1 to 6 in clause 5.
The climatogram is shown in Figure 1.
Seismic environment: zone 4 as defined in IEC 60721-2-6 [1]. Option zone 4 (modified Mercalli scale ≥ 9): if earthquake
conditions are specified by the customer, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.
This class shall apply to a permanently temperature controlled enclosed location. Humidity usually not controlled. The
climatogram is shown in Figure 1. Exceptional conditions may apply in specific cases (e.g. external extreme
environmental conditions) and these exceptional conditions are shown in Figure 1 where they are described as 3.10E in
clause 5.1 but this is not a separate class.
NOTE: The exceptional conditions described as 3.10E in Figure 1 are not defined in IEC 60721-3-3 [2].
Heating or cooling are used to maintain the required conditions - especially where there is a significant difference
between the room environment and the external ambient. The climate-controlling systems could be periodically
switched on or off but extremely high or low temperatures are prevented.
This class shall apply to locations:
• where installed equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and to heat radiation. It may also be exposed to
movements of the surrounding air due to draughts in buildings. They are not subjected to condensed water,
precipitation, water from sources other than rain or icing;
• without particular risk
