SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 is the Slovenian standard adopting ETSI EN 300 162-2 for shipborne Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephone transmitters and receivers in the maritime mobile service. It gives harmonized requirements under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, so manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformity assessors can check that voice and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment uses the maritime VHF spectrum without causing harmful interference.
What does SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 specify?
SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 specifies the minimum radio-spectrum requirements for shipborne VHF transmitters and receivers operating in the 156.0 MHz to 174.0 MHz band, using G3E and possibly G2B emission. It applies to equipment that is within the scope of the maritime mobile service and is organized as a short harmonized EN with requirements, test methods, and a normative EN-RT summary.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | The EN Requirements Table (EN-RT), which summarizes the requirements and their mandatory status |
The main body is arranged into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, technical requirement specifications, and testing for compliance. That structure matters in practice because it tells a reader where the limits are defined, where the test methods are found, and how conformity is documented.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 162-2:2001?
The standard ties each requirement to a defined parameter in EN 300 162-1 and then points to the matching test in clause 5. This makes it usable for type testing and for checking whether a specific radio still meets its spectrum-related obligations.
Transmitter performance
Clause 4.2 covers frequency error, carrier power, frequency deviation, adjacent channel power, conducted spurious emissions conveyed to the antenna, cabinet radiation and other conducted spurious emissions, and transient frequency behaviour of the transmitter. In practice, these requirements control where the signal sits, how strong it is, and how much unwanted energy it sends into nearby channels or outside the intended antenna path.
Receiver performance
Clause 4.2 also covers maximum usable sensitivity, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel selectivity, spurious response rejection, intermodulation response, blocking or desensitization, receiver conducted spurious emissions, receiver radiated spurious emissions, and receiver desensitization during simultaneous transmission and reception (Duplex operation). These items matter because they show whether the receiver can still hear a wanted signal when weak signals, nearby channels, or strong interferers are present.
Test conditions and measurement uncertainty
Clause 5.1 says the test conditions, power supply, and ambient temperatures come from EN 300 162-1. Clause 5.2 requires the test report to include measurement uncertainty and says the uncertainty values are calculated in line with ETR 028. For a lab or buyer, this means the report is not just a pass/fail statement - it must also show how confident the measurements are.
Interpretation of results
Clause 5.2 links the measured value directly to the relevant limit when deciding compliance, and Table 1 sets maximum absolute measurement uncertainties for the different parameters. In practice, this keeps different test labs aligned when they judge borderline results.
Requirement summary
Annex A provides the EN Requirements Table (EN-RT). It lists each requirement from 4.2 and marks them as Mandatory, which makes the document suitable for static conformity assessment of equipment covered by the standard.
What terms does SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 define?
- Environmental profile - The range of environmental conditions in which the equipment must comply with the standard.
- G3E - Phase modulation, described here as frequency modulation with 6 dB/octave pre-emphasis, used for speech.
- G2B - Phase modulation with digital information and a sub-carrier for DSC operation.
- DSC - Digital Selective Calling, the signaling function used alongside voice operation.
- R&TTE - Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment, the directive framework this standard supports.
- VHF - Very High Frequency, the band used by the shipborne radiotelephone equipment covered here.
Who uses SIST EN 300 162-2:2001?
Manufacturers of maritime VHF radiotelephones use this standard to design equipment against the harmonized radio-spectrum requirements. Test laboratories use it to run the listed transmitter and receiver conformance tests and report uncertainty consistently.
Conformity assessment teams and regulators use the EN-RT and the clause-by-clause limits to document whether equipment supports Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive. Buyers and technical specifiers use it to identify the exact standard for shipborne VHF voice and DSC equipment in procurement or approval workflows.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 162-2:2001?
| Reference | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) | The legal framework for Article 3.2 and harmonized conformity assessment |
| ETSI EN 300 162-1 (V1.2.2) | Definitions, parameter limits, and the detailed test methods referenced throughout the standard |
| ETSI ETR 028 (Ed. 2) | The method for calculating measurement uncertainty |
| Directive 98/34/EC | The procedural background for the technical standards notification process |
What does the SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 document contain?
SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 contains requirement clauses for transmitter and receiver performance, including frequency accuracy, power, deviation, selectivity, rejection, and spurious emissions. It also contains the compliance test references that point to the matching methods in EN 300 162-1.
The document includes rules for test conditions and for interpreting measured results, including how to handle measurement uncertainty in reports. Annex A gives the EN Requirements Table, which is the compact summary used when checking conformity item by item.
