General Information
- Abstract
The present document defines classes of environmental conditions and their severities to which telecommunication equipment may be exposed. The severities specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded; generally less than 1 %. The present document applies to equipment being transported from one place to another after being made ready for dispatch from the manufacturer's works. The most commonly used methods of transportation have been taken into account, i.e. ground, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary storage, have been included. Where the equipment is packaged the environmental conditions apply to the packaged equipment. NOTE: Normal transportation time is considered to be 30 days or less. Where the total transportation time exceeds 30 days then additional storage or packaging precautions must be considered.

Overview
SIST EN 300 019-1-2 V2.1.4:2006 is an essential European standard in the field of environmental engineering for telecommunications. Developed by SIST and aligned with ETSI EN 300 019-1-2, it defines the classification of environmental conditions and their severities specifically for the transportation phase of telecommunication equipment. The standard covers typical transport modes, including ground, water, and air, and addresses associated processes such as loading, unloading, and temporary storage. It provides a framework to ensure that equipment, once packaged and dispatched from manufacturers, withstands the expected environmental stresses encountered during transit with a low probability of those severities being exceeded (less than 1%).
Key Topics
- Environmental Classification for Transportation: Defines three environmental classes (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) covering “very careful,” “careful,” and typical public transportation.
- Climatic, Biological, and Mechanical Factors: Addresses a comprehensive range of influences including temperature fluctuations, humidity, biological threats (mould, rodents), mechanical shocks, and vibration.
- Chemically and Mechanically Active Substances: Considers exposure to pollutants like salt mist and industrial chemicals, as well as environmental particulates such as dust and sand.
- Guidance on Packaging: Applies environmental condition requirements to the equipment as packaged for shipment.
- Duration and Scope of Transportation: Focuses on standard transportation periods of up to 30 days, with additional guidelines for longer durations where practicable.
- Reference to International Standards: Harmonizes environmental condition criteria with other relevant standards, such as IEC 60721 and IEC 60068.
Applications
The practical value of SIST EN 300 019-1-2 V2.1.4:2006 lies in its broad range of real-world applications for the telecommunications industry:
- Risk Assessment During Equipment Transportation: Enables manufacturers and logistics providers to identify the appropriate environmental class and associated test severities based on intended shipping methods and destination climates.
- Development of Transportation Protocols: Offers a reliable reference for packaging engineers to ensure that product packaging meets or exceeds the required protection against environmental stresses.
- Quality Assurance and Compliance: Supports procurement, project management, and compliance departments by providing clear environmental classifications for supplier and customer agreements.
- Supply Chain Optimization: Assists logistics planners and warehouse operators in reducing losses by understanding and mitigating environmental damage risks during normal transport, loading/unloading, and temporary storage.
- Global Deployment Readiness: Provides a basis for verifying that telecommunications equipment is suitable for global transport scenarios, making it easier for manufacturers to serve a global market.

1 Scope
The present document defines classes of environmental conditions and their severities to which telecommunication
equipment may be exposed. The severities specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded;
generally less than 1 %.
The present document applies to equipment being transported from one place to another after being made ready for
dispatch from the manufacturer's works. The most commonly used methods of transportation have been taken into
account, i.e. ground, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary storage, have been included.
Where the equipment is packaged the environmental conditions apply to the packaged equipment.
NOTE: Normal transportation time is considered to be 30 days or less. Where the total transportation time
exceeds 30 days then additional storage or packaging precautions must be considered.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
absolute humidity: mass of water vapour in grammes which is associated with one cubic metre of dry air in an
air/water vapour mixture
non-weatherprotected location: equipment, packaged or unpackaged, is not protected in any way from the
environment
relative humidity: ratio of the partial pressure of the water vapour in moist air at a given temperature, to the partial
pressure of the water vapour in saturated air at the same temperature
ETSI
6 ETSI EN 300 019-1-2 V2.1.4 (2003-04)
weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is protected from direct weather influences
NOTE: Totally weatherprotected location: the equipment, packaged or unpackaged, is contained within an
enclosure which affords some protection from the environment, ranging from a temperature controlled
container to a waterproof cover placed over the equipment. Ventilation ranges from controlled air flow to
the raising of part of a waterproof cover to allow for natural air flow.
4 Environmental classes
Three different environmental classes have been defined. Classes 2.1 and 2.2 are special classes relating to low
temperature and less severe mechanical conditions. Class 2.3 is the normal class for transportation of equipment.
4.1 Class 2.1: Very careful transportation
Class 2.1 is a combination of classes 2K3/2B2/2C2/2S2/2M1 in IEC 60721-3-2 [2].
This class applies to transportation where special care has been taken e.g. with respect to low temperature and handling.
The conditions covered include transportation in unventilated
