SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006 is the Slovenian standard corresponding to ETSI EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1, a harmonized European standard for cordless audio devices in the range 25 MHz to 2 000 MHz. It specifies the radio spectrum and electromagnetic compatibility requirements used to show conformity with Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive for equipment such as consumer radio microphones, in-ear monitoring, cordless headphones, loudspeakers and related short-range audio devices.
What does SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006 specify?
SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006 covers cordless audio devices intended to use integral antennas and operated under the frequency bands allowed by national regulations. It focuses on short-range audio equipment using analogue or digital FDMA modulation, and on Band II LPD devices with analogue modulation.
The document is organized into five clauses and three annexes.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | HS Requirement and conformance Test specifications Table (HS-RTT) |
| Annex B | The EN title in the official languages |
| Annex C | Bibliography |
The scope includes cordless headphones, cordless loudspeakers, consumer radio microphones, in-ear monitoring, in-vehicle cordless, personal cordless, broadband multi channel audio systems and Band II LPD. In practice, that means the standard is aimed at products that radiate directly and need to be checked for spectrum use, unwanted emissions and transmitter behavior.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006?
Clause 4 requires equipment to meet its technical limits within the declared operational environmental profile. For a manufacturer, this means the product must comply not only in ideal lab conditions but across the environmental range the supplier declares.
Transmitter and receiver limits
Clause 4.2.1 sets the transmitter requirements for Band II LPD by reference to EN 301 357-1. It covers basic requirements, effective radiated power (ERP), occupied bandwidth, channel spacing, frequency error, transmitter timeout and radiated spurious emissions. In practice, these checks make sure the device stays within its assigned channel behavior and does not waste spectrum or interfere with other services.
Clauses 4.2.2 to 4.2.6 cover general cordless audio devices and specify limits for frequency error, carrier power, channel bandwidth, spurious emissions and cabinet radiation, and cordless audio transmitter shutoff. Clause 4.2.7 covers receiver spurious emissions and cabinet radiation for equipment with an integrated receiver and for combined equipment. For buyers and test labs, these clauses define the RF performance items that must be measured and documented.
Testing and uncertainty
Clause 5.1 requires tests to be performed at representative points within the declared environmental profile. Clause 5.2 requires measurement uncertainty to be reported and tied to the limits used in the decision, with uncertainty calculated according to TR 100 028.
Clause 5.3 identifies the essential radio test suites. For Band II LPD, all tests in EN 301 357-1 clause 8.2 apply. For general cordless audio devices, the tests in EN 301 357-1 clauses 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and 9.1 are used for frequency error, carrier power, channel bandwidth, radiated spurious emissions and cabinet radiation, transmitter shutoff, and receiver spurious emissions and cabinet radiation.
What terms does SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006 define?
- Artificial antenna - A tuned reduced-radiating dummy load used instead of the real antenna for measurements.
- Integral antenna - An antenna designed as an indispensable part of the equipment, with or without a connector.
- Necessary bandwidth - The bandwidth just sufficient for the information to be transmitted at the required rate and quality.
- Port - Any connection point on or in the equipment intended for cables to or from the equipment.
- Radiated measurements - Measurements that involve the absolute measurement of a radiated electromagnetic field.
- Spurious emission - An emission outside the necessary bandwidth that can be reduced without affecting the intended transmission.
- EUT - Equipment Under Test.
- FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access.
- LPD - Low Power Device.
Who uses SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006?
Manufacturers of cordless audio products use this standard to design equipment for market access and to plan RF conformity testing. Test laboratories use it to run the required transmitter and receiver measurements, including uncertainty reporting.
Quality managers, compliance engineers and technical buyers use it to confirm that a product falls within the intended scope and that the required test evidence is available. It is relevant to consumer audio, wireless microphones, in-ear monitoring systems, cordless loudspeakers, in-vehicle audio accessories and Band II LPD equipment.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006?
- Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) - The legal basis for the Article 3.2 essential requirements covered by this standard.
- ETSI EN 301 357-1 (V1.3.1) - Provides the technical characteristics and test methods that EN 301 357-2 references for the detailed RF requirements and tests.
- ETSI TR 100 028 - Provides the method for calculating measurement uncertainty.
- ETSI EG 201 399 - Cited as the guide to the modular structure used for Harmonized Standards under the R&TTE Directive.
What does the SIST EN 301 357-2 V1.3.1:2006 document contain?
Annex A contains the HS-RTT proforma, which links each essential requirement to its test specification and shows whether the requirement is unconditional or conditional. It is the part used to complete a conformity claim.
Clause 5.2 and Table 5.1 set the measurement uncertainty approach and the maximum uncertainty levels used for the main emission-related parameters. That is important because the test report must support the pass/fail decision with stated uncertainty.
The document also contains cross-references to the test suites in EN 301 357-1, so a user can trace each requirement to the corresponding test method. Annex B lists the title in official languages, and Annex C gives a short bibliography.
