Overview

SIST EN 302 885 V2.2.3:2017 specifies the minimum technical characteristics and measurement methods for portable Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephone equipment with integrated handheld Class H Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functionality, intended for the maritime mobile service operating within designated VHF frequency bands. This harmonised standard supports compliance with the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU articles 3.2 and 3.3(g), ensuring effective and safe radio communication at sea. Developed by SIST (Slovenian Institute for Standardization), this document aligns with ETSI EN 302 885 V2.2.3 and addresses operational, technical, and environmental requirements for maritime VHF portable radiotelephones.

Key Topics

  • Minimum Technical Characteristics: The standard details construction, controls, labelling, and safety features for VHF radiotelephone equipment used in maritime environments.
  • Frequency Bands and Channel Spacing: Equipment operating on VHF bands with either 25 kHz or both 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz channel spacing is covered.
  • Integrated DSC Functionality: Specifies requirements for handheld Class H DSC capabilities, essential for digital distress and safety communications.
  • Testing and Measurement Methods: Includes procedures for verifying compliance, such as transmitter and receiver performance, channel selectivity, spurious emissions, and operational robustness.
  • Environmental and Durability Tests: Outlines drop, heat, and humidity tests to ensure reliable operation under maritime conditions.
  • Directive 2014/53/EU Compliance: Ensures the equipment meets the regulatory obligations for radio equipment safety and maritime communications, particularly with regard to the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

Applications

SIST EN 302 885 V2.2.3:2017 is widely referenced by manufacturers, laboratories, and maritime authorities for approval and operation of portable VHF radiotelephones with DSC in a variety of maritime settings:

  • Safety and Distress Signalling: Provides critical support for emergency communication through DSC, enhancing maritime safety and response effectiveness.
  • Routine Maritime Communications: Enables reliable ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore voice messaging within the maritime VHF spectrum.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps manufacturers demonstrate conformity with European Union requirements for maritime radio equipment.
  • Product Development and Testing: Serves as a core reference for engineers and testers developing and certifying new portable VHF radio devices for maritime use.

Related Standards

SIST EN 302 885 V2.2.3:2017 is closely associated with international and European standards focused on maritime communications and equipment testing:

  • ETSI EN 302 885 V2.2.3: The European counterpart, providing harmonised technical specifications for maritime VHF radiotelephones.
  • IEC 60945: Maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems - General requirements, methods of testing, and required test results.
  • ITU-R M.493: Recommendation governing the technical details for Digital Selective Calling in the maritime mobile service.
  • Directive 2014/53/EU (RED): European framework for placing radio equipment on the market, emphasizing essential requirements on radio spectrum and safety.
