SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 is a SIST amendment to ETS 300 296 for land mobile radio equipment using integral antennas intended primarily for analogue speech. It updates the standard so it can be used in a harmonised EMC framework and adds material that supports national approval regulations for this equipment.
What does SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 specify?
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 modifies the European Telecommunications Standard ETS 300 296 for land mobile radio equipment with integral antennas and analogue speech. Its main purpose is to align the text with the intended harmonised standard status and to add regulatory material for EMC and approval use.
The amendment is organized around a revised foreword and two normative annexes:
- Annex E links selected clauses of ETS 300 296 to EMC Directive essential requirements.
- Annex F contains the ERC Decision on approval regulations for this type of radio equipment.
In practice, this amendment matters when the standard is used for conformity assessment, type approval, or regulatory mapping, because it shows which technical clauses are relevant for EMC and which spectrum-management parameters are intended for approval regimes.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998?
EMC-related clauses
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 identifies the parts of ETS 300 296 that are relevant to compliance with the essential requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC. Annex E points to spurious emissions, spurious radiations, spurious response rejection, and blocking or desensitisation.
For a test house or manufacturer, this tells you which transmitter and receiver behaviours are the key EMC-related checks. These are the clauses that matter when you need to show that the radio does not create unwanted interference and that the receiver stays usable in the presence of strong unwanted signals.
Approval regulations and spectrum-management parameters
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 also includes the ERC Decision that calls for approval regulations to be based on the limit values and measurement methods in ETS 300 296, except for parameters subject to national licensing requirements. The decision is aimed at land mobile radio equipment using an integral antenna intended primarily for analogue speech.
Annex F’s list of spectrum-management parameters covers the main transmitter and receiver tests used in approval work, including frequency error, frequency deviation, adjacent channel power, spurious emissions, average usable sensitivity, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel selectivity, intermodulation response, and blocking or desensitisation. In practice, this means the document is not only about radio design, but also about the measurements authorities and labs use to judge whether equipment can be approved.
Channel-spacing options
The approval material in Annex F refers to channel-spacing options of 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, and 25 kHz. Those options matter because the applicable test conditions and some limits depend on the channel plan used by the equipment.
For buyers and engineers, this is important when selecting or specifying equipment for a network, because the radio has to match the intended channel spacing and operating arrangement used in the target country or system.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 define?
- Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) - The ETSI technical committee and standard family dealing with radio equipment and systems.
- Land mobile service - A radio service used for mobile communications on land.
- Integral antenna - An antenna built into the equipment rather than attached as a separate external unit.
- Analogue speech - Voice transmission in analogue form.
- Harmonized Standard - A standard intended to support a European directive and common regulatory use across Europe.
- EMC Directive - Council Directive 89/336/EEC on electromagnetic compatibility.
- ERC Decision - A European Radiocommunications Committee decision used to support national approval regulations.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998?
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, test laboratories, certification and type-approval bodies, and CEPT national administrations. It is also useful to procurement and quality teams that need to specify or verify land mobile radio equipment with integral antennas for analogue speech.
In practice, these users rely on it for EMC mapping, approval testing, spectrum-management checks, and national regulatory alignment.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 from the previous edition?
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 modifies ETS 300 296 (1994). The amendment states these changes:
- The foreword is replaced with text identifying ETSI preparation and the intended harmonised standard status with ETS 300 279 and Council Directive 89/336/EEC.
- A new sentence is added stating that the technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive are listed in Annex E.
- Annex E is inserted as a normative annex with the EMC mapping table.
- Annex F is inserted as a normative annex containing the ERC Decision for approval regulations.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998?
- ETS 300 279 - Named as the companion standard with which ETS 300 296 is intended to become a harmonised standard.
- ETS 300 296 - The base European Telecommunication Standard that this amendment modifies.
- Council Directive 89/336/EEC - The EMC Directive used for the annex that maps relevant clauses to essential requirements.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 24-01 - Cited as the basis for the general standard.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 25-08 - Mentioned for preferred frequency-band arrangements in the background.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 01-05 - Mentioned for transitional arrangements in the ERC Decision background.
What does the SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 document contain?
SIST ETS 300 296:1998/A1:1998 contains a revised foreword and two normative annexes, rather than a full rewrite of the base standard. Annex E provides a clause-to-directive mapping table for EMC compliance work, which is useful in audits and conformity assessment.
Annex F reproduces the ERC Decision on approval regulations and includes its annexes. One annex lists the transmitter and receiver parameters taken from ETS 300 296 for inclusion in approval regulations, while the other shows national adoption of channel-spacing options by administration.
For practical use, the document serves as a bridge between technical radio-performance testing and regulatory approval. It helps users see which measurements support EMC compliance and which ones feed into national type-approval regimes.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
The free movement of radiocommunications goods and the provision of Europe-wide services for
radiocommunications are only achievable if there exist common regulations throughout Europe regarding availability
of frequency bands, approval requirements and border crossing procedures. A basic requirement to fulfil these
objectives is the Europe-wide implementation of national regulations based on the European Telecommunications
Standards (ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)11) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 296 and
withdraw any conflicting national standard.
2. BACKGROUND
Both the ERC and ETSI are involved in the development of common regulations, as described in (1) above. The
Memorandum of Understanding between ERC and ETSI explains the respective responsibilities of the two
organisations and its annex describes the principles of co-operation. The ERC, for its part, should, inter alia, adopt
Decisions on the introduction of ETSI standards into approval regimes.
ETS 300 296 has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of ETSI. The
standard has undergone the ETSI standards approval procedure and is now published as an ETS.
