Overview
SIST EN 301 025-2:2001, titled Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters (ERM); VHF Radiotelephone Equipment for General Communications and Associated Equipment for Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC); Part 2: Harmonised EN under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, is a harmonized European standard developed by SIST in conjunction with ETSI. This standard specifies the essential requirements for Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephone equipment for general communications and associated Class D DSC equipment, in line with Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC). Its focus is on the effective use of the allocated radio spectrum and minimizing harmful interference, supporting safety and operational efficiency in maritime and general radiocommunications.
Key Topics
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Spectrum Use
The standard defines compliance parameters for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the efficient use of radio spectrum in the 156–174 MHz frequency range, allocated to the Maritime Mobile Service.Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
The requirements cover DSC equipment designed to provide essential functions for distress, urgency, safety, and routine calling, supporting travel and operations for vessels not necessarily covered by IMO GMDSS mandates.Conformance Requirements
Detailed requirements are set for transmitters and receivers, including:- Frequency accuracy and deviation
- Adjacent channel power
- Spurious emissions (conducted and radiated)
- Transient frequency behavior
- Sensitivity, selectivity, co-channel and adjacent channel rejection
- Modulation characteristics for both voice and DSC signals
Environmental Profile
Equipment must conform to all technical requirements when operating within its specified environmental class, ensuring reliable performance in intended working conditions.Testing for Compliance
The standard outlines test procedures and acceptable measurement uncertainties for verifying compliance, referencing relevant methods and requirements from EN 301 025-1.
Applications
Maritime Communications
Essential for suppliers and manufacturers of marine VHF radio and DSC equipment, especially for commercial and recreational vessels needing to ensure communication reliability and regulatory compliance in European waters.Compliance with the R&TTE Directive
Satisfies the requirements for placing VHF radiotelephone equipment and Class D DSC devices on the EU market, necessary for demonstrating conformity with the provisions on spectrum efficiency and electromagnetic compatibility.General Radiocommunications
Provides a compliance framework for any VHF radio equipment operating within the 156–174 MHz band, ensuring minimal interference with other spectrum users.Product Certification and Market Access
Supports test labs, certification bodies, and notified organizations in assessing product conformity, enabling fast and reliable certification processes across the EU.
