Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the ETSI Project Digital Terminals and
Access (DTA).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European
Commission issued under Council Directive 83/189/EEC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the
provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard as requested by the above
mentioned mandate, the reference of which will be published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities referencing the Council Directive relating to telecommunications terminal equipment and
satellite earth station equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity (Directive 98/13/EC).
A common technical regulation may be established by the European Commission in accordance with the
Directive.
Technical specifications relevant to the 98/13/EC Directive are given in the TBR-Requirements Table
(TBR-RT) in annex E.

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements under Article 5(g) of
Directive 98/13/EC for Terminal Equipment Type 1 (TE1 see [1]) for the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice to
be attached to the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) at an interface at the
coincident S and T reference point for a basic access.
The objective of this TBR is to ensure interworking via the network.
A test is given for each requirement in this TBR including measurement methods. The terminal equipment
may be stimulated to perform tests by additional equipment if necessary.
This TBR specifies the Article 5(g) requirements for TE1 that:
a) are intended for participation in calls that use those on-demand circuit mode basic services that are
specified in clause G.1;
b) optionally use those supplementary services that are specified in clause G.2;
c) are capable of handling either incoming calls only, outgoing calls only or both incoming and
outgoing calls.
This TBR is applicable to simple 3,1 kHz telephony terminals as well as to the 3,1 kHz telephony function
of multimedia or multi-service terminals and includes all functions necessary to provide real-time 2-way
speech conversation. This TBR only applies to items of terminal equipment with an integral user-network
interface for ISDN basic access, and which have a handset. Where a function is indicated as optional, it
need not be provided, but, where such a function is provided, the terminal needs to conform to the
requirements and tests specified in this TBR.
This TBR is not applicable to:
a) terminal equipment specially designed for the disabled (e.g., with amplification of received speech
as an aid for the hard-of-hearing);
b) terminal equipment using a radio link (e.g., cordless telephones);
c) terminal equipment for hostile environments;
d) terminal equipment with a switching function which is not covered by the definition of TE1.
NOTE: Terminals that meet the requirements of this TBR will also be suitable for connection
to the S reference point for interworking via the public network.

3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this TBR, the relevant definitions as given in ITU-T Recommendation P.10 [2] and
ITU-T Recommendation G.701 [3], apply plus the following:
Acoustic Reference Level (ARL): The acoustic level which gives -10 dBm0 at the digital interface.
dB(A): Sound level relative to 20 mPa measured using the A-weighting defined in IEC 651 [4].
dBPa: Sound pressure level relative to 1 Pa (no weighting).
dBPa(A): Sound level relative to 1 Pa measured using the A-weighting defined in IEC 651 [4].
D-factor: The computed average of the difference between the sending sensitivity using an artificial
mouth and that using a diffuse room noise source.
designated terminal: The terminal which is permitted to draw power from power source 1 under
restricted power conditions as specified in TBR 3 [5].
digital interface: The interface at the coincident S and T reference point. The digital interface shall be a 0
dBr point according to ITU-T Recommendation G.101 [6].

NOTE 2: Work is currently being undertaken by ETSI to analyse the mouth-to-ear
characteristics of voice communication. The results of this work could have

Terminal Coupling Loss (TCL): The frequency dependent coupling loss between the receiving port and
the sending port of a terminal due to:
- acoustical coupling at the user interface;
- electrical coupling due to crosstalk in the handset cord or within the electrical circuits;
- seismic coupling through the mechanical parts of the terminal.
NOTE 3: The receiving port and the sending port of a digital voice terminal is a 0 dBr point.
NOTE 4: The coupling at the user interface depends on the conditions of use.
Weighted Terminal Coupling Loss (TCLW): The weighted terminal coupling loss using the weighting of
ITU-T Recommendation G.122 [8].
3,1 kHz telephony terminal: A terminal that supports the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice as described in

specifies the relationship between the requirements and the terminal. The supplier shall provide
information on the functions implemented in the terminal and this information shall be used to determine
which requirements apply and the manner in which the tests are to be performed. This information may
be provided in the form of a complete TBR Requirements Table (TBR-RT) proforma (a blank TBR-RT
proforma is provided in annex E).
