Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio equipment within the scope of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.2].
The equipment to which the present document applies fall within the low duty cycle high reliability devices category.
NOTE 1: The low duty cycle/high reliability devices category is defined in Commission Decision
2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Category of short-range devices" means a group of short- range devices that use spectrum with similar
technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios.
and
The low duty cycle/high reliability device category covers radio devices that rely on low overall spectrum
utilisation and low duty cycle spectrum access rules to ensure highly reliable spectrum access and
transmissions in shared bands. Typical uses include alarm systems that use radio communication for
indicating an alert condition at a distant location and social alarms systems that allow reliable
communication for a person in distress.
It is recognized that the radio communications link alone does not determine the overall operation of a system, but that a
functioning radio communications link is an essential foundation upon which a system may be built.
The present document sets out various means and features by which the performance of a radio communications link
may be improved. These include:
1) Spectrum Access Rules - with the aim of reducing the probability of collisions between transmissions from
different equipment.
2) Receiver Parameters - with the aim of reducing the probability of interference from equipment on other
frequencies.
3) Bi-Directional Communications - with the aim of reducing the time and number of transmissions required to
achieve a given level of confidence in successful communication.
Application of these features, separately or in combination, does not necessarily ensure successful radio
communication. In addition, there are other features that may be considered, such as listen before talk or error
correction, that may improve overall performance.
Clauses 1 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 specifies technical requirements to be met by all equipment.
Clause 5 specifies technical requirements for receivers in equipment with uni-directional communications.
Clause 6 specifies technical requirements for equipment with bi-directional communications.
Clause 7 specifies the methods for testing for compliance with the technical requirements.
Annex A summarizes the requirements relevant to the RE-Directive [i.2].

1 Scope
The present document applies to social alarm devices operating on designated frequencies.
Designated frequencies are those frequency bands identified in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as having a
usage available only to social alarms.
Social alarms are defined in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Social alarm devices" are radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in
a confined area to initiate a call for assistance. Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating, for transmission or reception, in all or part of the frequency
bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Frequency bands
Frequency band
869,200 MHz to 869,250 MHz

The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

2) Receiver Parameters - with the aim of reducing the probability of interference from equipment on other
frequencies.
3) Bi-Directional Communications - with the aim of reducing the time and number of transmissions required to
achieve a given level of confidence in successful communication.
Application of these features, separately or in combination, does not necessarily ensure successful radio
communication. In addition, there are other features that may be considered, such as listen before talk or error
correction, that may improve overall performance.
Clauses 1 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 specifies technical requirements to be met by all equipment.
Clause 5 specifies technical requirements for receivers in equipment with uni-directional communications.
Clause 6 specifies technical requirements for equipment with bi-directional communications.
Clause 7 specifies the methods for testing for compliance with the technical requirements.
Annex A summarizes the requirements relevant to the RE-Directive [i.2].

1 Scope
The present document applies to social alarm devices operating on designated frequencies.
Designated frequencies are those frequency bands identified in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as having a
usage available only to social alarms.
Social alarms are defined in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Social alarm devices" are radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in
a confined area to initiate a call for assistance. Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating, for transmission or reception, in all or part of the frequency
bands given in table 1.
