SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 is the Slovenian version of ETS 300 390 Amendment 1, published by SIST for radio equipment and systems in the land mobile service. It covers radio equipment intended for the transmission of data and speech with an integral antenna, and it sets the technical characteristics and test conditions used for approval and testing. The amendment aligns the ETS with use as a harmonised standard linked to the EMC Directive, so it is relevant to manufacturers, test laboratories, and approval authorities.
What does SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 specify?
SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 specifies an amendment to ETS 300 390 for land mobile radio equipment with an integral antenna. The amendment is focused on the regulatory and compliance framework around the standard, especially its link to harmonised-standard use and national approval regulations.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| G | Clauses and subclauses relevant for compliance with essential requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC |
| H | ERC Decision on approval regulations for land mobile radio equipment for data and speech transmission with an integral antenna |
The amendment states that ETS 300 390, together with ETS 300 279, is intended to become a harmonised standard. It also places some matters outside the common approval scope, such as national licensing and frequency-planning items handled by administrations.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998?
SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 does not redesign the radio equipment itself. Instead, it identifies which technical parameters and test methods matter for approval, and which parts of the base standard map to the EMC Directive.
Annex G links the standard to EMC compliance
Annex G identifies the clauses that relate to essential requirements under Council Directive 89/336/EEC. The listed topics are radiated spurious emissions, spurious radiations, spurious response rejection, and blocking or desensitisation. In practice, this tells a manufacturer or test lab which radio performance items are part of EMC-related compliance evidence.
Annex H carries the approval-regulation decision
Annex H contains the ERC Decision that uses ETS 300 390 as the basis for national approval regulations. It asks CEPT administrations to adopt approval rules based on the limit values and measurement methods in the ETS, and to withdraw conflicting national regulations. For a buyer or compliance team, this shows that the standard is meant to support cross-border approval use, not just a technical description.
The Decision separates harmonised parameters from national licensing matters
The explanatory material in Annex H makes clear that some matters remain for national licensing and frequency planning, including operating frequency, e.i.r.p., and limits on transmission duration. That matters because a product can meet the ETS and still need country-specific spectrum or licence checks.
Annex 1 of the ERC Decision lists the main approval parameters
Annex 1 identifies the transmitter and receiver parameters that approval regulations should cover. On the transmitter side, the list includes frequency error, effective radiated power, adjacent channel power, radiated spurious emissions, attack time, release time, and transient behaviour. On the receiver side, it includes average usable sensitivity, error behaviour at high input levels, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel selectivity, spurious response rejection, intermodulation response rejection, blocking or desensitisation, and spurious radiation. In practice, these are the measurements that show whether the radio stays accurate, stable, and resistant to interference.
Annex 2 records channel-spacing choices by administration
Annex 2 shows which channel-spacing options each administration had adopted. This matters because equipment design and certification may need to follow different channel-spacing choices in different markets.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 define?
- European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) - the standards body that prepared the amendment through its Radio Equipment and Systems work.
- Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) - the ETSI technical committee area responsible for this radio equipment standard.
- Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive) - the European directive used in Annex G to map the standard to essential requirements.
- European Radiocommunications Committee (ERC) - the body whose Decision is reproduced in Annex H to support national approval regulations.
- Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) - the administrations expected to implement the ERC Decision nationally.
- equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) - the radiated-power parameter mentioned as a licensing matter handled by national authorities.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998?
Manufacturers of land mobile radio equipment use this standard when designing products with integral antennas and preparing them for approval. Test laboratories use it to select the right transmitter and receiver measurements and to document EMC-related results. Approval bodies and spectrum regulators use it when drafting or checking national approval regulations. It is also relevant to buyers and quality managers who need to know whether a radio product is designed for the approval route used in CEPT markets.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 from the previous edition?
This is Amendment 1 to the first edition of ETS 300 390. The amendment updates the foreword, adds the statement that the EMC-related technical specifications are listed in Annex G, and adds Annex H with the ERC Decision for approval regulations. It also reinforces the intention for ETS 300 390, together with ETS 300 279, to become a harmonised standard.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998?
- ETS 300 279 - named with ETS 300 390 as the companion standard in the harmonised-standard context.
- ETS 300 113 - identified as the complementary standard for combined analogue speech/data equipment with an antenna connector.
These references help users choose the right ETS depending on whether the equipment uses an integral antenna or an antenna connector.
What does the SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 document contain?
The document contains amendment instructions, a revised foreword, and two normative annexes. Annex G gives the mapping from ETS 300 390 clauses and subclauses to the EMC Directive requirements, which is useful for compliance planning and conformity assessment. Annex H reproduces the ERC Decision, its explanatory memorandum, the parameter list for approval regulations, and the table of national channel-spacing adoption. The back matter also includes document history and publication details.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
The free movement of radiocommunications goods and the provision of Europe-wide services for
radiocommunications are only achievable if there exist common regulations throughout Europe regarding availability
of frequency bands, approval requirements and border crossing procedures. A basic requirement to fulfil these
objectives is the Europe-wide implementation of national regulations based on the European Telecommunications
Standards (ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)14) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 390 and
withdraw any conflicting national standard.
2. BACKGROUND
Both the ERC and ETSI are involved in the development of common regulations, as described in (1) above. The
Memorandum of Understanding between ERC and ETSI explains the respective responsibilities of the two
organisations and its annex describes the principles of co-operation. The ERC, for its part, should, inter alia, adopt
Decisions on the introduction of ETSI standards into approval regimes.
ETS 300 390 has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of ETSI. The
standard has undergone the ETSI standards approval procedure and is now published as an ETS.
The ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specific applications.
The use of the frequency range (30-1000 MHz) covered by ETS 300 390 is not harmonised within CEPT. Although
