4 General
4.1 Selection of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment to be tested shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all frequencies over which it is
intended to operate.
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the frequency ranges, the range of operating conditions and power
requirements as applicable, to establish the appropriate test conditions.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to make the test, shall be supplied.
Guidance on the presentation of equipment is also given in EN 300 793 [i.2].
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
The provider or manufacturer shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Stand-alone equipment shall be complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing.
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with the combination of features considered to be the most complex.
Where practicable, equipment to be tested shall provide a 50 Ω connector for conducted RF power level measurements.
In the case of integral antenna equipment, if the equipment does not have a internal permanent 50 Ω connector then it is
permissible to supply a second sample of the equipment with a temporary antenna connector fitted to facilitate testing.
ETSI
11 Final draft ETSI EN 300 086-1 V1.3.1 (2008-07)
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model.
4.1.1.1 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary auxiliary test equipment, setting up instructions and other product information shall accompany the
equipment to be tested.
4.1.1.2 Declarations by the provider
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the necessary information of the equipment with respect to all technical
requirements set by the present document.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
4.2.1 General
The equipment shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good engineering practice, and with
the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
4.2.2 Controls
Those controls, which if maladjusted, might increase the interfering potentialities of the equipment shall not be
accessible for adjustment by the user.
4.2.3 Transmitter shut-off facility
When a timer for an automatic shut-off facility is operative, at the moment of the time-out the transmitter shall
automatically be switched off (the re-activation of the transmitter shall reset the timer).
A shut-off facility shall be inoperative for the duration of the measurements unless it has to remain operative to protect
the equipment. If the shut-off facility is left operative the status of the equipment shall be indicated.
4.3 Marking
The equipment shall be marked in a visible place. This marking shall be legible, tamperproof and durable.
The marking shall be in accordance with EC Directives and/or CEPT decisions or recommendations as appropriate.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.5.
ETSI
12 Final draft ETSI EN 300 086-1 V1.3.1 (2008-07)
5.2 Test power source
During testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by a test power source capable of producing normal
and extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. The internal impedance of the test power source shall
be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. For the purpose of tests, the voltage of the power source
shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and the test power source shall be applied as close to the
battery terminals as practicable.
During tests of DC powered equipment the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of < ±1 %
relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance is critical for power measurements.
Using a smaller tolerance will provide better measurement uncertainty values.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out the tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient
temperature and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage or any of the declared voltages for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources used on vehicles
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source
used on vehicles the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 times the nominal voltage of the battery (for nominal voltages of
6 V and 12 V, these are 6,6 V and 13,2 V respectively).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment manufacturer.

4 General
4.1 Selection of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment to be tested shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all frequencies over which it is
intended to operate.
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the frequency ranges, the range of operating conditions and power
requirements as applicable, to establish the appropriate test conditions.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to make the test, shall be supplied.
Guidance on the presentation of equipment is also given in EN 300 793 [i.2].
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
The provider or manufacturer shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Stand-alone equipment shall be complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing.
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with the combination of features considered to be the most complex.
Where practicable, equipment to be tested shall provide a 50 Ω connector for conducted RF power level measurements.
In the case of integral antenna equipment, if the equipment does not have a internal permanent 50 Ω connector then it is
permissible to supply a second sample of the equipment with a temporary antenna connector fitted to facilitate testing.
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model.
4.1.1.1 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary auxiliary test equipment, setting up instructions and other product information shall accompany the
equipment to be tested.
4.1.1.2 Declarations by the provider
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the necessary information of the equipment with respect to all technical
requirements set by the present document.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
4.2.1 General
The equipment shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good engineering practice, and with
the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
4.2.2 Controls
Those controls, which if maladjusted, might increase the interfering potentialities of the equipment shall not be
accessible for adjustment by the user.
ETSI
12 ETSI EN 300 086-1 V1.3.1 (2008-09)
4.2.3 Transmitter shut-off facility
When a timer for an automatic shut-off facility is operative, at the moment of the time-out the transmitter shall
automatically be switched off (the re-activation of the transmitter shall reset the timer).
A shut-off facility shall be inoperative for the duration of the measurements unless it has to remain operative to protect
the equipment. If the shut-off facility is left operative the status of the equipment shall be indicated.
4.3 Marking
The equipment shall be marked in a visible place. This marking shall be legible, tamperproof and durable.
The marking shall be in accordance with EC Directives and/or CEPT decisions or recommendations as appropriate.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.5.
5.2 Test power source
During testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by a test power source capable of producing normal
and extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. The internal impedance of the test power source shall
be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. For the purpose of tests, the voltage of the power source
shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and the test power source shall be applied as close to the
battery terminals as practicable.
During tests of DC powered equipment the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of < ±1 %
relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance is critical for power measurements.
Using a smaller tolerance will provide better measurement uncertainty values.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out the tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient
temperature and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 300 086-1 V1.3.1 (2008-09)
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage or any of the declared voltages for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources used on vehicles
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source
used on vehicles the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 times the nominal voltage of the battery (for nominal voltages of
6 V and 12 V, these are 6,6 V and 13,2 V respectively).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment manufacturer.
5.4 Extreme test conditions
5.4.1 Extreme temperatures
For tests at extreme temperatures, measurements shall be made in accordance with the procedures specified in
clause 5.5, at the upper and lower temperatures of one of the following two ranges:
• -20 °C to +55 °C;
All mobile and handportable equipment.

4 General
4.1 Selection of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment to be tested shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all frequencies over which it is
intended to operate.
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the frequency ranges, the range of operating conditions and power
requirements as applicable, to establish the appropriate test conditions.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to make the test, shall be supplied.
Guidance on the presentation of equipment is also given in EN 300 793 [i.2].
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
The provider or manufacturer shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Stand-alone equipment shall be complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing.
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with the combination of features considered to be the most complex.
Where practicable, equipment to be tested shall provide a 50 Ω connector for conducted RF power level measurements.
In the case of integral antenna equipment, if the equipment does not have a internal permanent 50 Ω connector then it is
permissible to supply a second sample of the equipment with a temporary antenna connector fitted to facilitate testing.
The performance of the equipment to be tested shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model.
4.1.1.1 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary auxiliary test equipment, setting up instructions and other product information shall accompany the
equipment to be tested.
4.1.1.2 Declarations by the provider
The provider or manufacturer shall declare the necessary information of the equipment with respect to all technical
requirements set by the present document.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
4.2.1 General
The equipment shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good engineering practice, and with
the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
4.2.2 Controls
Those controls, which if maladjusted, might increase the interfering potentialities of the equipment shall not be
accessible for adjustment by the user.

12 ETSI EN 300 086-1 V1.3.1 (2008-09)
4.2.3 Transmitter shut-off facility
When a timer for an automatic shut-off facility is operative, at the moment of the time-out the transmitter shall
automatically be switched off (the re-activation of the transmitter shall reset the timer).
A shut-off facility shall be inoperative for the duration of the measurements unless it has to remain operative to protect
the equipment. If the shut-off facility is left operative the status of the equipment shall be indicated.
4.3 Marking
The equipment shall be marked in a visible place. This marking shall be legible, tamperproof and durable.
The marking shall be in accordance with EC Directives and/or CEPT decisions or recommendations as appropriate.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.5.
5.2 Test power source
During testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by a test power source capable of producing normal
and extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. The internal impedance of the test power source shall
be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. For the purpose of tests, the voltage of the power source
shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and the test power source shall be applied as close to the
battery terminals as practicable.
During tests of DC powered equipment the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of < ±1 %
relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance is critical for power measurements.
Using a smaller tolerance will provide better measurement uncertainty values.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out the tests under these conditions, a note to this effect,
