SIST EN 301 925 V1.6.1:2021
(Main)Radiotelephone transmitters and receivers for the maritime mobile service operating in VHF bands - Technical characteristics and methods of measurement
General Information
- Abstract
The present document specifies the minimum requirements for shipborne radio transmitters and receivers for fixed
installations operating in the VHF frequency bands between 156 MHz and 174 MHz used by the maritime mobile
service, using both 25 kHz and 12,5 kHz channels and capable of Radiotelephony and Digital Selective Calling
communications within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. The present document incorporates the
requirements of the relevant resolutions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is primarily intended to
specify equipment suitable for fitting to ships subject to the SOLAS Convention [i.2] and complying with the Council
Directive 2014/90/EU [i.3] of 23 July 2014 on marine equipment (the European Marine Equipment Directive).
The present document does not address the testing of ancillary equipment on a stand-alone basis, i.e. separately from the
radio equipment with which it is to be used.

Overview
SIST EN 301 925 V1.6.1:2021 sets out the minimum technical requirements for shipborne radiotelephone transmitters and receivers operating in the VHF bands (156 MHz to 174 MHz) for maritime mobile services. These systems facilitate both radiotelephony and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) communications, supporting critical operations within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
This standard also integrates relevant International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolutions and is designed for equipment compliant with the SOLAS Convention and the EU Marine Equipment Directive (2014/90/EU). Its primary goal is to ensure the reliability and safety of maritime VHF communications equipment used on vessels subject to international conventions.
Key Topics
Core areas covered in SIST EN 301 925 V1.6.1:2021 include:
- Frequency Range and Channel Spacing: Applies to VHF radio equipment operating between 156 MHz and 174 MHz, using both 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz channel spacing to accommodate legacy and modern maritime systems.
- Equipment Types: Focus on fixed installation transmitters and receivers, excluding stand-alone ancillary devices.
- Radiotelephony and DSC: Specifies requirements for both voice and selective digital calling functionalities crucial for GMDSS compliance.
- Technical Characteristics: Covers transmitter and receiver performance, including frequency stability, carrier power, modulation, adjacent channel power, sensitivity, selectivity, spurious emissions, and environmental resilience (e.g., vibration, temperature).
- Testing and Measurement Methods: Details standard procedures for verifying compliance, such as power source voltage testing, squelch, channel scanning, and audio response.
- Safety, Labelling, and Controls: Addresses safety precautions, control layouts, indicators, and proper equipment labeling.
- IMO and EU Regulatory Alignment: Ensures all requirements align with international maritime safety frameworks and European regulations.
Applications
The standard is vital for manufacturers, integrators, and ship operators who require certified VHF maritime communication systems. Typical applications include:
- GMDSS Equipment Fitting: Ensures VHF radios installed on SOLAS-regulated ships provide reliable distress and safety communications.
- Harbor, Coastal, and Inland Shipping: Guarantees compatibility with maritime VHF networks for routine, emergency, and navigation safety exchanges.
- Vessel Traffic Services (VTS): Supports communication protocols used in port and coastal vessel monitoring.
- Commercial Shipping and Passenger Ferries: Mandates robust performance for reliable communications under diverse environmental conditions.
By adhering to this standard, stakeholders can achieve compliance with both IMO safety resolutions and EU marine equipment requirements, enhancing maritime communication safety and reliability.
Related Standards
SIST EN 301 925 V1.6.1:2021 complements and aligns with several key international and regional standards, including:
- ETSI EN 301 925: The European framework upon which the SIST version is based.
- SOLAS Convention: The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, referencing GMDSS requirements.
- IMO Resolutions: Governing maritime radio communication for distress and safety.
- Council Directive 2014/90/EU: The European Marine Equipment Directive, prescribing performance, testing, and certification for ship equipment.
- IEC 60945: Specifies general requirements for marine navigation and radio communication equipment.
- ETSI EN 300 162: Covers specific requirements for DSC equipment in the maritime VHF band.
Complying with SIST EN 301 925 V1.6.1:2021 ensures that maritime VHF radio equipment is robust, interoperable, and legally marketable within the European Economic Area and internationally.
