The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.2] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in Table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document is part 55 of a multi-part deliverable covering ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for
radio equipment and services. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [1].

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: electrical or electronic equipment, that is intended to be used with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE 1: It is considered as an ancillary equipment if:
the equipment is intended for use 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);
the ancillary equipment cannot be used without being connected to radio equipment 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).
NOTE 2: An example of ancillary equipment would be a docking station for radio equipment whose interface is
dedicated to a particular product or range of products.
critical stored data: data that is essential for an EUT to perform a primary function in accordance with that EUT's
specification
NOTE: This can include data previously stored by the user.

Compatibility (EMC) for the following equipment:
• Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) interrogator;
• SSR Far Field Monitor (FFM);
• Multilateration (MLAT);
• Wide Area Multilateration (WAM);
• Distance Measurement Equipment (DME) land station transponder;
• Extended Squitter (ES) / Non Transponder (NT).
operating in the frequency range 960 MHz to 1 215 MHz.
The above mentioned radio equipment can be intended for use at a fixed location or mobile use.
The standard covers equipment consisting of one or more enclosures that contain at least one of the following
functionalities: transmitter, receiver, signal processing. Other parts which are not part of the navigation functionality
e.g. local UPS, air conditioning equipment, dehumidifying equipment, communication network equipment, etc., are not
in the scope of the present document, unless these parts are implemented inside the system enclosure(s).
NOTE 1: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.1(b) of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.
Technical specifications related to conducted emission EMC requirements below 9 kHz on the AC mains port of radio
equipment are not included in the present document.
NOTE 2: Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product family standards for AC mains
powered equipment (e.g. EN 61000-3-2 [i.3] and EN 61000-3-3 [i.4]).

3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: electrical or electronic equipment, that is intended to be used with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE 1: It is considered as an ancillary equipment if:
the equipment is intended for use 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);
the ancillary equipment cannot be used without being connected to radio equipment 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).
NOTE 2: An example of ancillary equipment would be a docking station for radio equipment whose interface is
dedicated to a particular product or range of products.
critical stored data: data that is essential for an EUT to perform a primary function in accordance with that EUT's
specification
NOTE: This can include data previously stored by the user.
