SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1, the common EMC part of the EN 301 489 series for radio equipment and services. It specifies shared technical requirements for electromagnetic compatibility, including test conditions, performance assessment, performance criteria, emission limits and immunity tests. It is used together with the relevant product-related part for the radio equipment or ancillary equipment being assessed.
What does SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 specifies the common technical requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). The standard is the general Part 1 of a multi-part EN 301 489 series, so it sets the shared rules while the product-related parts add special conditions for particular radio types.
The scope matters in practice because this part is not used alone for most products. It works with the appropriate product-related part, and where the two differ, the product-related part takes precedence. The document also excludes technical specifications for the antenna port and radiated emissions from the enclosure port of radio equipment and combinations of radio and ancillary equipment; those are normally found in the radio spectrum product standards.
The document is organized into these main clauses:
- Scope
- References
- Definitions and abbreviations
- Test conditions
- Performance assessment
- Performance criteria
- Applicability overview tables
- Methods of measurement and limits for EMC emissions
- Test methods and levels for immunity tests
Annex A is normative and maps clauses to the EMC Directive and the R&TTE Directive.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 requires the manufacturer to declare the intended environment and to test the equipment under normal conditions within the declared humidity, temperature and supply voltage range. This matters because EMC results are only meaningful if the test setup reflects actual use and is recorded in the test report.
The standard uses a port-based approach. Clauses 7, 8 and 9 set out which tests apply to each port type and to each equipment class - fixed use, vehicular use or portable use. In practice, that means the tester first identifies the equipment class and ports, then uses the overview tables to select the relevant emission and immunity tests.
Clause 5 requires the manufacturer to supply information needed for assessment, including the primary functions, intended functions, operating bands, test modulation, cable lengths, and the method for verifying a communication link. For equipment that does not provide a continuous communication link, the manufacturer must define acceptable performance or degradation and the method for judging it. That is important because some radio products cannot be judged by a simple always-on pass/fail check.
Clause 6 separates performance criteria for continuous phenomena and transient phenomena. For continuous phenomena, the apparatus must keep operating as intended without unintentional transmission or data loss below the declared minimum performance. For transient phenomena, some temporary degradation is allowed during exposure, but the equipment must recover and continue to operate as intended after the test.
Clause 7 shows which EMC tests apply. For emissions, the standard covers enclosure radiation of ancillary equipment tested on its own, DC and AC power ports, harmonic current emissions, voltage fluctuations and flicker, and telecommunication ports. For immunity, it covers radiated RF fields, electrostatic discharge, fast transients, conducted RF, vehicular transients and surges, voltage dips and interruptions, and surges on telecommunication ports.
Clauses 8 and 9 specify the test methods and levels. Examples include radiated emission measurement of ancillary equipment according to EN 55022, conducted emission tests on AC and DC power ports, and immunity tests based on EN 61000-4-2, EN 61000-4-3, EN 61000-4-4, EN 61000-4-5, EN 61000-4-6 and EN 61000-4-11. Clause 9.6 adds vehicular disturbance testing using ISO 7637-1 for 12 V equipment and ISO 7637-2 for 24 V equipment. For a buyer or test engineer, this means the EMC plan must match both the port type and the intended installation environment.
The standard also defines how to handle narrow band responses in receivers. If a receiver fails at a discrete frequency, the test frequency is shifted to check whether the response is narrow band and therefore ignored for immunity assessment. This prevents false failures caused by spurious receiver responses rather than real EMC weakness.
What terms does SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 define?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 defines the terms needed to classify equipment and apply the tests correctly.
- Ancillary equipment - Equipment used with a receiver or transmitter to add control or operating features, but not needed for the basic function of the radio equipment.
- Base station equipment - Radio or ancillary equipment intended for fixed installation and powered from AC mains or an extended local DC mains network.
- Host equipment - Equipment that has its own user function and contains the radio module, while the radio adds extra functionality.
- Mobile equipment - Receiver, transmitter or transceiver intended for use in a vehicle and powered by the vehicle battery.
- Portable equipment - Radio or ancillary equipment intended for handheld or other portable use and powered by its own integral battery.
- Radio communications equipment - Telecommunications equipment that includes one or more radio transmitters and/or receivers for fixed, mobile or portable use.
- Telecommunication port - A port intended for connection to telecommunication networks, local area networks or similar networks.
- Transient phenomena - Disturbances that change between steady states over a short interval compared with the time scale of interest.
Who uses SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, EMC test laboratories, conformity assessors, and quality or compliance teams. It is especially relevant for teams working on base stations, mobile equipment, portable equipment, transceivers and ancillary equipment.
In practice, users rely on it to choose applicable tests, set up the test configuration, document performance criteria, and write the test report. Buyers and project engineers use it to understand what EMC evidence should exist for a radio product and whether the equipment belongs in the fixed, vehicular or portable category.
What changed in SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 is a revision to EN 301 489-XX across all parts, made to remove editorial inconsistencies between the specific parts and between those parts and Part 1. The document history also shows the publication sequence leading to V1.4.1.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 is used together with the relevant product-related part of EN 301 489, which supplies special conditions for a particular radio type. That companion part can change the test arrangements, performance criteria or exclusions.
The main referenced standards contribute the following:
- EN 55022 - measurement methods and limits for radiated and conducted emissions used for ancillary equipment, DC ports, AC ports and telecommunication ports.
- EN 61000-4-2 - electrostatic discharge immunity test method.
- EN 61000-4-3 - radiated RF field immunity test method.
- EN 61000-4-4 - fast transient or burst immunity test method.
- EN 61000-4-5 - surge immunity test method.
- EN 61000-4-6 - conducted RF immunity test method.
- EN 61000-4-11 - voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity test method.
- EN 61000-3-2 - harmonic current emission requirements for AC mains input.
- EN 61000-3-3 - voltage fluctuations and flicker requirements.
- ISO 7637-1 and ISO 7637-2 - vehicular transient tests for 12 V and 24 V powered equipment.
- TR 101 651 - environment classification for equipment in telecommunication networks.
- IEC 60050-161 - vocabulary for EMC terms and definitions.
What does the SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 document contain?
SIST EN 301 489-1 V1.4.1:2003 contains the procedures and support material needed to run EMC tests on radio equipment in a repeatable way. It gives test-condition rules, test signal arrangements for transmitters and receivers, and the method for testing a transmitter and receiver together as a system.
It also contains applicability tables that show which emission and immunity tests apply to fixed, vehicular and portable equipment and to which ports. For the emission and immunity clauses, it provides method descriptions, limit tables, and references to the basic EMC standards used for the actual measurements.
The document includes a procedure for identifying narrow band receiver responses, rules for normal test modulation, and instructions for recording the information needed in the test report. Annex A then maps the relevant clauses to the essential requirements of the EMC Directive and the R&TTE Directive, which is useful for conformity assessment and technical file preparation.

field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (89/336/EEC [2] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive" [1]).
The present document is based upon the Generic Standards EN 50081-1 [5] and EN 50082-1 [6] and other standards,
where appropriate, to meet the essential requirements of Council Directives 89/336/EEC [2] and 1999/5/EC [1]
respectively.
The present document, and the product related parts of it are based on the current EMC standards published by ETSI. It
should be noted that the majority of these EMC standards have also been published in the Official Journal of the
European Commission.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present
document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements
are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to
be specified by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC
Directive [2].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [1] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive [1] may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in an equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions without requiring alteration of
standards that are already published;
- it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of
conformity assessment.
Figure 2 gives an enlargement of the EMC layer which is judged to be appropriate in view of the present document
derivation.

Figure 2: The new radio EMC harmonized standard
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part EMC standard for radio equipment which is structured in the following
way:
- One EMC standard for all radio equipment made up of several parts.
- All common technical requirements for EMC emission and immunity have been placed in EN 301 489-1,
which is the present document.
- Separate parts have been developed to cover specific product related radio equipment test conditions, test
arrangements, performance assessment, performance criteria, etc.
- A clause is included in each of the specific radio parts, entitled "special conditions", which is used as
appropriate to cover any deviations or additions to the common requirements set out in the present document.
To demonstrate an adequate level of EMC protection, the present document is to be used together with the appropriate
specific radio part of the standard.
It is recognized that there may be circumstances where none of the existing specific product related radio parts covers
the required conditions for a particular radio equipment/service e.g. in case of the initial introduction of a new radio
service or a special application. In this situation the present document can be used together with specific information for
the radio equipment provided by the manufacturer, for the purposes of testing to the EMC requirements set out in the
present document.
In all cases where a radio product falls within the scope of a specific product related radio part of the standard, the
product related part takes precedence.

1 Scope
The present document contains the common requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary
equipment, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Product dependent arrangements necessary to perform the EMC tests on dedicated types of radio communications
equipment, and the assessment of test results, are detailed in the appropriate product related parts of EN 301 489.
The present document, together with the product related part, specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of
measurement, the limits and the performance criteria for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. In case of
differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviation) between this part and the relevant
product related part of EN 301 489, the product related part takes precedence.
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of radio equipment and radiated emissions from the enclosure port
of radio equipment and combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment are not included in the present
document. Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the
radio spectrum.
The environment classification used in the present document refers to the environment classification used in:
- EN 50081-1 [5] and EN 50082-1 [6] for the residential, commercial and light industrial environment; or
- TR 101 651 [16] for the telecommunication centre environment; or
- ISO 7637-1 [14] and ISO 7637-2 [15] for the vehicular environment.
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus intended to be
used in the environments mentioned above. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any
location but with low probability of occurrence. The applicable environment(s) shall be declared by the manufacturer
and shall be in accordance with the equipment documentation.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomenon is permanently present, e.g. a radar or
broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the
source of interference or the interfered part or both.
Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any
requirements related to spectrum management or to the use of the equipment (licensing requirements).
Compliance to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any safety requirements.
However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment to record in the test report any observations regarding
the test sample becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests called for in the present
document.
NOTE: Radio equipment for use in maritime environment is covered by other ETSI EMC standards.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus), used in connection with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE: It is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
- the equipment is intended for use in conjunction 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); and
- the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis 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).
base station equipment: radio and/or ancillary equipment intended for operation at a fixed location and powered
directly or indirectly (e.g. via an AC/DC converter or power supply) by the AC mains network, or an extended local DC
mains network
continuous phenomena (continuous disturbance): electromagnetic disturbance, the effects of which on a particular
device or equipment cannot be resolved into a succession of distinct effects
NOTE: See IEC 60050-161 [19].
enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge
NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.
host equipment: any equipment which has a complete user functionality when not connected to a radio
communications equipment, and to which this radio equipment provides additional functionality, and to which
connection is necessary for this radio equipment to offer additional functionality, and in which the transceiver part of
the radio equipment is physically installed
NOTE: This also covers any device that would accept a variety of radio modules, where the original user
functionality of the host equipment is not affected.
integral antenna: antenna which may not be removed during the tests, according to the manufacturer's statement
manufacturer: manufacturer of the equipment, or his authorized representative, or an equipment supplier to the
European market

removable antenna: antenna which may be removed for the test according to the manufacturer statement
telecommunication port: ports which are intended to be connected to telecommunication networks (e.g. public
switched telecommunication networks, integrated services digital networks), local area networks (e.g. Ethernet, Token
Ring) and similar networks
NOTE: See EN 55022 [7].
transient phenomena (transient disturbance): pertaining to or designating a phenomena or a quantity which varies
between two consecutive steady states during a time interval short compared with the time-scale of interest

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
The equipment shall be tested under normal test conditions according to the relevant product and basic standards or to
the information accompanying the equipment, which are within the manufacturers declared range of humidity,
temperature and supply voltage. The test conditions shall be recorded in the test report.
The test configuration and mode of operation shall represent the intended use and shall be recorded in the test report.
For emission and immunity tests, specific product related information on the test modulation, test conditions and tests
arrangements, etc., are found in the part of EN 301 489 dealing with the particular type of radio equipment.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of immunity test signals on both the measuring equipment and the
signal sources for the wanted signals located outside the test environment.
4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters
The signal source providing the transmitter under test with the modulation signal for the normal test modulation shall be
located outside the test environment, unless the transmitter is modulated by its own internal source, see the relevant part
of EN 301 489.
The transmitter shall be modulated with normal test modulation, by an internal or external signal source capable of
delivering the normal test modulation as specified in the relevant part of EN 301 489.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters
The measuring equipment for the wanted RF output signal from the transmitter under test shall be located outside the
test environment.
For transmitters with an integral antenna, the wanted RF output signal to establish a communication link shall be
delivered from the EUT to an antenna located within the test environment. This antenna shall be connected to the
external measuring equipment by a coaxial cable.
For transmitters with a removable antenna, the wanted RF output signal to establish a communication link shall be
delivered from the antenna connector to the external measuring equipment by a shielded transmission line, such as a
coaxial cable. Adequate measures shall be taken to minimize the effect of unwanted common mode currents on the
external conductor of the transmission line at the point of entry to the transmitter.
Unless otherwise specified in the relevant part of EN 301 489 for the particular type of radio equipment, the level of the
wanted RF output signal in transmit mode of operation shall be set to the maximum rated RF power for the EUT,
modulated with the normal test modulation.
