SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 is an ETSI European Standard for the land mobile service, issued under Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). It gives guidance on how equipment is presented for type testing, including how many samples to submit and which frequencies to test so the sample represents the production model.
What does SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 specifies how to present land mobile radio equipment for type testing. It covers the choice of test model, the number of samples, and the number and range of tests per sample.
The scope covers three equipment types:
- base station equipment with an antenna socket, for fixed use
- mobile station equipment with an antenna socket, normally used in a vehicle or as a transportable
- handportable stations with either an antenna socket or an integral antenna
The document is organized into:
- Clause 1 Scope
- Clause 2 References
- Clause 3 Definitions and symbols
- Clause 4 Presentation of equipment for testing purposes
- Annex A, normative, with graphical selection rules
- Annex B, informative, with examples of limited tests in other ETSI standards

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003?
SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 tells applicants and test labs how to choose samples and channels so type tests cover the relevant operating range without testing every channel. In practice, this means the manufacturer must declare the frequency ranges and provide enough samples to show the equipment behaves consistently across them.
Model selection and test planning
Clause 4.1 says the manufacturer shall provide one or more samples as appropriate, and that optional features should be grouped into the most complex practical configuration if they do not affect Radio Frequency (RF) parameters. For the reader, this means the test item should reflect the hardest normal case, not a simplified version.
Switching range, alignment range and operating frequency range
Clause 4.2 defines the Switching Range (SR), Alignment Range (AR) and Operating Frequency Range (OFR). The SR is the range that can be used without reprogramming or realignment; the AR is the range that can be programmed or aligned by limited changes; the OFR is the total range of frequencies covered by one type or a family of equipment. This matters because the test plan is built around these ranges.
Alignment range categories and test points
Clause 4.3 divides AR into four categories: AR0, AR1, AR2 and AR3. Clauses 4.4 to 4.7 then assign full tests and limited tests to the low, high and center parts of the AR. In practice, the higher the frequency span, the more test points are needed.
Multiple channel separations
Clause 4.8 covers equipment that can work with more than one channel separation. Measurements are performed for each separation as needed, and the note says there is no need to test both 20 kHz and 25 kHz when one design can operate on both without physical change. This avoids duplicate testing while still covering the actual modes of use.
Sample count
Clause 4.9 sets the number of samples when SR matches AR, and more samples when SR is only a subset of AR. For example, AR1 needs two samples, AR2 needs three, and AR3 needs four or more to cover the range. That is the core planning rule for type testing.
Families, power levels, configurations and integral antennas
Clauses 4.10 to 4.13 address families of equipment with a wider OFR, alternative transmitter power levels, alternative hardware configurations, and equipment without an external 50 W RF connector. These clauses tell the applicant how to demonstrate coverage across variants and how to handle conducted measurements on integral-antenna equipment.
What terms does SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 define?
- Full tests (FT) - the complete set of tests required by the relevant product standard.
- Limited tests (LT) - a reduced test set defined by the product standard for selected channels or cases.
- Switching Range (SR) - the range over which the receiver or transmitter can be operated without reprogramming or realignment.
- Alignment Range (AR) - the range over which the equipment can be programmed or aligned with limited internal changes.
- Operating Frequency Range (OFR) - the total frequency range covered by one type or a family of equipment.
- AR0, AR1, AR2, AR3 - the four alignment-range categories used to decide test points and sample counts.
- RF - Radio Frequency, the part of the equipment behavior covered by the frequency-related testing.
Who uses SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003?
SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 is used by manufacturers or applicants, accredited testing laboratories, and administrations involved in type approval. Product standard writers also use it when they want to refer to a common sample-selection method instead of repeating the same rules.
In practice, it helps with test planning, choosing representative samples, deciding which frequencies to test, and writing test reports that explain how the equipment was configured.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003?
The document refers to:
- ETS 300 086 - gives an example of limited tests for land mobile radio equipment with an internal or external RF connector for analogue speech
- ETS 300 341 - gives an example of limited tests for radio equipment using an integral antenna that transmits signals to initiate a specific response
- CEPT/ERC Recommendation T/R 01-06 - provides procedures for type testing and approval for radio equipment intended for non-public systems
These references help readers see how the sample-selection rules are applied in real ETSI product standards.
What does the SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 document contain?
SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003 contains selection rules, definitions, and worked examples rather than product limits. Annex A includes graphical figures showing how many samples and test frequencies are needed for single samples, subset switching ranges, and wider families of equipment.
Table 1 links channel separation and alignment category to full tests or limited tests. Annex B gives examples of limited test sets from ETS 300 086 and ETS 300 341, which is useful when a product standard uses those concepts in its own test clauses.
The foreword also states that the standard is voluntary in application but may be made mandatory by national administrations for type approval certificates.

More specifically, it is expected that product standards for which (some of) the clauses of this standard areappropriate, will merely refer to the present document or to the applicable clauses of the present document (rather thancopying the text of the appropriate clauses, in order to avoid having similar clauses in a number of different documents).The material included in this standard is therefore intended for use by manufacturers (applicants), accredited testinglaboratories and the appropriate administrations, to assess the number of samples that should be submitted for testingand so ensure that the performance of the equipment is representative of the performance of the correspondingproduction model.The present document was drafted on the assumption that type test measurements performed in an accredited testinglaboratory in one country would be accepted by the Administration in another country provided that the nationalregulatory requirements are met (in accordance to CEPT/ERC Recommendation T/R 01-06 [3]).SIST EN 300 793 V1.1.1:2003
