SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2, a harmonized European standard for short range devices (SRDs) in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range. It specifies the radio-spectrum requirements and compliance tests for transmitters and receivers under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, so manufacturers, test laboratories and conformity assessors can check whether an SRD fits the spectrum rules for its use.
What does SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 specify?
SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 applies to SRD transmitters and receivers in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range, including transmitters up to 4 W and receivers in the same band. It is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable: part 1 gives the technical characteristics and test methods, while this part provides the harmonized EN for article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive.
The standard covers generic SRDs with an RF output connection and specified antenna, or with an integral antenna. It is written for applications such as alarms, identification systems, radio-determination, telecommand and telemetry, and it covers fixed, mobile and portable stations. Transponders are measured together with the transmitter, and the declared environmental operating profile from the manufacturer is part of the basis for compliance.
The document is organized into scope, references, definitions, technical requirements, testing for compliance, and interpretation of measurement results. It relies heavily on ETSI EN 300 440-1 for detailed definitions, limits and test methods.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005?
The core requirement in SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 is that the equipment must meet the transmitter and receiver limits taken from EN 300 440-1, and the measurements must be made under the declared operating conditions. In practice, this means a product is not assessed only by its nominal frequency or power, but by its unwanted emissions, receiver behavior and the conditions under which it is intended to operate.
Transmitter requirements
- Clause 4.1.1 limits equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) for transmitters with an integral or dedicated antenna. This matters because antenna choice affects the radiated output that reaches other users of the band.
- Clause 4.1.2 limits the permitted range of operating frequencies. This is what keeps the transmitter within the band plan used for SRDs.
- Clause 4.1.3 limits spurious emissions for all transmitters. This controls unwanted radiation outside the intended signal.
- Clause 4.1.4 limits duty cycle for all transmitters. In practice, this controls how long the device may occupy the spectrum.
Receiver requirements
- Clause 4.2.1 covers adjacent channel selectivity-in-band for Equipment Class 1 receivers when invoked.
- Clause 4.2.2 covers adjacent band selectivity for Equipment Class 1 receivers when invoked.
- Clause 4.2.3 covers blocking or desensitization for Equipment Class 1 and Class 2 receivers when invoked.
- Clause 4.2.4 limits spurious radiations from all receivers. This matters because receivers can also disturb other radio services.
RFID and testing
Clause 4.3 gives power limits for 2,45 GHz RFID systems. That makes the standard relevant to RFID products that use this band.
Clause 5 ties the technical limits to actual test suites. It requires testing under normal and extreme conditions, use of the declared test power source, selection of samples from the defined equipment samples, and specific transmitter and receiver tests. Clause 6 then says the measured result, not a corrected or optimistic value, is used to decide compliance, and the test report must include measurement uncertainty.
What terms does SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 define?
- Short Range Devices (SRDs) - Radio devices covered by this standard for operation in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range.
- Equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) - A measure of how much power the transmitter radiates in a given direction.
- Duty cycle - The portion of time a transmitter is active, used here to manage spectrum use.
- Blocking or desensitization - A receiver performance limit showing how well it keeps working near strong unwanted signals.
- Spurious emissions - Unwanted transmitter emissions outside the intended signal.
- Spurious radiations - Unwanted receiver radiation that can interfere with other equipment.
Who uses SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005?
SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 is used by SRD designers, radio compliance engineers, test laboratories, quality managers and conformity assessment bodies. It is also relevant to manufacturers and buyers of alarms, identification systems, RFID products, telecommand and telemetry equipment, and other SRDs in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range. These users rely on it to choose test methods, set acceptance criteria and document radio-spectrum conformity.
What changed in SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 updates the previous edition to correct minor editorial errors. The document history shows it as the later publication after V1.1.1.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005?
- ETSI EN 300 440-1 (V1.3.1) - Provides the technical characteristics, definitions, limits and detailed test methods that this part refers to.
- ETSI ETR 028 (1994) - Gives the method used to calculate measurement uncertainty.
- CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 - Provides the SRD use framework and power-class basis referenced by this standard.
- Directive 1999/5/EC - The R&TTE Directive under which the harmonized standard is intended to support conformity assessment.
- Directive 98/34/EC - The notification procedure directive mentioned in the foreword.
What does the SIST EN 300 440-2 V1.1.2:2005 document contain?
The document contains the harmonized spectrum requirements and the associated compliance test structure for SRDs in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz band. It includes a modular-structure figure showing how article 3.2 standards fit within the R&TTE framework, plus tables for SRD power classes, receiver test specifications and measurement uncertainty. It also gives the test interpretation rules that labs use when writing reports and deciding pass or fail.

The left hand edge of the figure shows the different clauses of article 3 of the Directive. The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum. 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 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Their dotted lines indicate that 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 functi
