SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 is the SIST version of ETSI EN 300 328-2, a harmonized European standard for wideband radio data equipment in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. It specifies essential requirements under Article 3.2 of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive for fixed, mobile, portable and plug-in radio transceivers, transmitters and receivers using spread spectrum modulation.
What does SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 specify?
SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 specifies the radio spectrum requirements and conformity tests for wideband data transmission equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It also sets the boundary of the equipment covered, including the modulation methods that fall in scope and the ones that do not.
The scope covers equipment with aggregate bit rates above 250 kbits/s and uses spread spectrum techniques in the stated band. Equipment using modulation techniques different from those defined in EN 300 328-1, subclauses 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, is outside the scope.
The document is organized into clauses on scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, technical requirement specifications, and testing for compliance. Annex A contains the EN Requirements Table (EN-RT).

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 328-2:2001?
SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 ties compliance to five radio performance items, the declared environmental profile, and test evidence with stated measurement uncertainty. In practice, this means the manufacturer or test lab must match the equipment to the right operating conditions, measure the right radio parameters, and document the results clearly.
Clause 4 - technical requirement specifications
- Environmental profile (4.1) - The equipment must comply within its required operational environmental profile. This matters because the declared temperature, humidity and other operating conditions form part of the conformity claim.
- Effective radiated power (4.2.1) - The standard uses the definition, limit and test in EN 300 328-1 and requires the corresponding conformance test. This shows how much power the transmitter may radiate.
- Peak power density (4.2.2) - The standard uses the EN 300 328-1 definition, limit and test method for peak power density. This controls how concentrated the transmitted energy may be.
- Frequency range (4.2.3) - The standard uses the EN 300 328-1 definition, limit and test for frequency range. This confirms that the equipment operates in the intended part of the 2.4 GHz band.
- Transmitter spurious emissions (4.2.4) - The standard relies on the EN 300 328-1 definition, limit and test for unwanted transmitter emissions. This helps reduce interference to other radio users.
- Receiver spurious emissions (4.2.5) - The standard uses the EN 300 328-1 definition, limit and test for receiver spurious emissions. This checks that the receiver does not create excessive unwanted emissions while operating.
Clause 5 - compliance testing
- Test conditions, power supply and ambient temperatures (5.1) - These are taken from EN 300 328-1, subclauses 6.1 to 6.6. This keeps test setups consistent across products and laboratories.
- Measurement uncertainty (5.2) - The test report must include uncertainty for each measured parameter, calculated using ETR 028. This matters because conformity decisions depend on both the measured value and its uncertainty.
- Essential radio test suites (5.3) - The clause points to the exact test cases for each radio requirement. This gives a repeatable route from design verification to formal compliance evidence.
What terms does SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 define?
- Environmental profile - The range of environmental conditions under which the equipment must meet the standard.
- Aggregate bitrate - The bitrate at the air interface, including protocol overhead where applicable and excluding spreading effects.
- Frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation - A spread spectrum method where the transmitter moves among frequencies over time with a dwell time at each one.
- Spread spectrum modulation - A modulation technique that spreads transmitted energy across a relatively large portion of the frequency spectrum.
- Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) - The ability of equipment to operate without causing or suffering unacceptable electromagnetic disturbance.
- Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) - The radio service band used by the equipment covered by this standard.
- Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) - The EU directive framework that this harmonized standard supports.
Who uses SIST EN 300 328-2:2001?
SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, design engineers, test laboratories, and conformity assessment teams working on 2.4 GHz wireless products. It is also relevant for quality managers, buyers and regulators who need to check whether a product’s radio performance evidence matches the harmonized standard for R&TTE Article 3.2.
What changed in SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 extends ETS 300 328 to cover directional RLAN systems. The document presents Part 2 as the harmonized EN for essential requirements under Article 3.2.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 328-2:2001?
- ETSI EN 300 328-1 - Provides the technical characteristics, definitions, limits and test methods that Part 2 refers to throughout.
- ETSI ETR 028 - Gives the method used to calculate measurement uncertainty for the test report.
- Directive 1999/5/EC - The R&TTE Directive framework that the standard supports.
- Directive 98/34/EC - The procedure used for notification in the field of technical standards and regulations.
What does the SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 document contain?
SIST EN 300 328-2:2001 contains the scope, references, definitions, technical requirement specifications and compliance testing provisions for wideband 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio equipment. Clause 4 sets the radio performance requirements, while clause 5 explains how to test them and how to handle measurement uncertainty. Annex A provides the EN-RT, which condenses the requirements into a conformity-assessment table. The bibliography also points to CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03, annex 3, as supporting material for short range devices.
