SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 is the SIST publication of the ETSI DECT general terminal attachment requirements in the third edition of TBR 6. It specifies the type-examination procedures and technical characteristics for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) terminal equipment that connects to a public telecommunications network, with separate treatment for the Fixed Part (FP) and Portable Part (PP). Manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformity assessors use it to check radio performance, timing, emissions, receiver behavior, and identity-related functions before terminal equipment is approved or placed on the market.
What does SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 specify?
SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 specifies the general attachment requirements for DECT terminal equipment that uses the DECT common interface to access a public network. It is built around type examination, so the document is mainly about how to test equipment and how to judge the results in a repeatable way.
The scope places the equipment in the 1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz band and states that the objective is to avoid disturbance to the public network while supporting successful call routing through that network. The standard also notes that it does not guarantee terminal-to-terminal operation, and that speech attachment requirements are handled in TBR 10.
The document is organized as follows:
- Clauses 4 to 18 cover general requirements, test conditions, transmitter and receiver checks, synchronization, EMC, identity testing, spectrum use, and wireless relay station testing.
- Annexes A to I provide supporting material, calibration procedures, protocol capability tables, specialized test methods, and the TBR Requirements Table.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| A | Bibliography |
| B | Test fixture calibration and radiated spurious emissions |
| C | Conducted spurious emissions |
| D | Test Support Profile (TSP) |
| E | Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Frame Error Ratio (FER) measurement |
| F | Synchronization loss measurement by the LT |
| G | Requirements for PPs with direct PP to PP communication mode |
| H | Requirements for installation related issues |
| I | TBR Requirements Table (TBR-RT) |
What are the key requirements of SIST TBR 006 E3:2004?
SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 is mainly a test standard. Its key requirements define what has to be declared, how the equipment is presented for test, which test setups are allowed, and what radio and protocol behavior must be measured for FP and PP equipment.
Presentation of the equipment and scope of testing
Clause 4 requires the equipment to be described through items such as the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) and Protocol Implementation Extra Information for Testing (PIXIT). This matters because the tester needs to know the exact configuration, options, and environmental conditions before type examination starts.
Clause 4 also sets out when the type tests apply to special cases such as receiver-only equipment, equipment with a transmitter, synchronization ports, PPs with the IPEI, all FP equipment, direct PP to PP communication, wireless relay stations, and equipment capable of 2 Mbit/s services using 4-level and/or 8-level modulation. In practice, the applicant has to show which functions are present so the right tests are applied and unnecessary tests are avoided.
Test sites, fixtures, testers, and repeatability
Clause 5 gives the general test requirements, including open air test sites, anechoic chambers, stripline couplers, indoor test sites, standard position, test antenna arrangements, substitution antennas, and test fixtures. It also describes the Lower Tester (LT), the Upper Tester (UT), and the test setups used for the measurements.
This matters because the same DECT device can only be compared fairly if the site, antenna height, polarization, fixture calibration, and signal generation uncertainty are controlled. Clause 5 also provides the arrangements used for intermodulation measurements, so the lab can reproduce the same RF conditions every time.
Test conditions and power sources
Clause 6 sets nominal and extreme test conditions, including temperature, humidity control, power source types, and special handling for host connected equipment and plug-in cards. It also gives alternatives for testing composite equipment or using a test jig with hosts.
In practice, this tells the lab when it can test the product as a standalone unit and when it has to be tested in a host-like arrangement. It also means results should be recorded with the actual conditions when the ideal test environment cannot be achieved.
Carrier, timing, and burst behavior
Clauses 7 and 8 cover accuracy and stability of RF carriers, timing parameters, packet timing jitter, reference timing accuracy of an RFP, and packet transmission accuracy of a PP. These clauses rely on the DECT physical and MAC layer references and are central to network compatibility.
Clause 9 covers the transmission burst, including normal transmitted power, transmitter attack time, transmitter release time, minimum and maximum power, and maintenance of transmission after packet end. For a buyer or engineer, this shows whether the transmitter starts and stops cleanly and whether its burst shape matches the DECT timing expectations.
Transmitted power, modulation, and unwanted emissions
Clause 10 covers transmitted power for equipment with integral antennas and for equipment with external antenna connections. Clause 11 covers RF carrier modulation, while Clause 12 covers unwanted RF power radiation due to modulation, transmitter transients, intermodulation, and spurious emissions.
These clauses matter because they show whether the device transmits at the expected level and with acceptable spectral cleanliness. They also distinguish between radiated and conducted spurious emission tests, and between equipment with an allocated transmit channel and equipment without one.
Receiver performance and synchronization
Clause 13 covers radio receiver sensitivity, reference BER and FER, interference performance, blocking in two cases, receiver intermodulation performance, and spurious emissions when the PP has no allocated transmit channel. Clause 14 covers intersystem synchronization for FPs, including wired synchronization ports and GPS synchronization.
In practice, these tests show how well the receiver can hear a signal in the presence of interference and how stable the fixed part is when it has to synchronize with other systems. That is important for installations where timing and co-existence matter.
EMC, identity, spectrum use, and relay stations
Clause 15 points to EMC requirements under the relevant EMC standards. Clause 16 covers equipment identity testing for PP and FP, and Clause 17 covers efficient use of the radio spectrum through channel selection, channel confirmation, and channel release.
Clause 18 covers Wireless Relay Station (WRS) testing. A WRS is tested as a standalone PP and also as an RFP for carrier frequency and reference timer accuracy, so a relay station must satisfy both sets of behavior.
What terms does SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 define?
- Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) - The cordless radio system covered by the standard, used here for public-network access in the 1 880 MHz to 1 900 MHz band.
- Equipment Under Test (EUT) - The device or configuration being type tested.
- Fixed Part (FP) - The fixed DECT part that is tested as a separate item from the PP.
- Portable Part (PP) - The portable DECT part, such as a handset or mobile unit, that is tested separately from the FP.
- Radio Fixed Part (RFP) - The fixed-part radio configuration used in the carrier, timing, burst, power, and synchronization tests.
- Lower Tester (LT) - The test side that provides RF and protocol stimulation and measurement functions in the test arrangements.
- Upper Tester (UT) - The higher-level test interface used to place equipment in test standby mode and exchange test messages.
- Wireless Relay Station (WRS) - A relay station that is tested both as a PP and as an RFP under the document’s special rules.
Who uses SIST TBR 006 E3:2004?
SIST TBR 006 E3:2004 is used by DECT equipment manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies, and compliance engineers. It is also relevant to quality managers and buyers who need evidence that a terminal product can be type tested against the DECT attachment basis.
In practice, users apply it to:
- design verification of DECT base stations, handsets, and relay stations
- preparing PICS and PIXIT information for assessment
- setting up test fixtures, antennas, and calibrated sites
- checking carrier stability, burst shape, power, modulation, and emissions
- demonstrating receiver performance, timing accuracy, and identity behavior
- supporting conformity work for equipment connected to a public telecommunications network

Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) Project of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European
Commission issued under Council Directive 98/13/EC [12] (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 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
concerning telecommunications terminal equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity
(Directive 98/13/EC [12], known as the "TTE Directive").
A common technical regulation may be established by the European Commission in accordance with the
Directive.
Technical specifications relevant to the 98/13/EC [12] Directive are given in the TBR Requirements Table
(TBR-RT) in annex I.

1 Scope
This TBR covers the general attachment requirements for terminal equipment for the Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) common interface.
The present document contains the procedures and requirements for the type examination of DECT
equipment.
DECT equipment capable of being physically attached to the public network also needs to meet the
appropriate attachment requirements. Speech attachment requirements are covered in TBR 10 (see
annex A).
The present document is based on the DECT Common Interface (CI) given in EN 300 175,
parts 1 [1] to 8 [8].
The present document specifies the technical characteristics to be provided by terminal equipment which
is capable of connection to a public telecommunications network and which uses DECT cordless
communications for
