installations and/or VHF installations.
• Class B: provides minimum facilities for equipment on ships not required to use class A equipment and
complies with the minimum IMO GMDSS carriage requirements for MF and/or VHF installations. This
equipment should provide for:
- alerting, acknowledgement and relay facilities for distress purposes;
- calling and acknowledgement for general communication purposes; and
- calling in connection with semi-automatic/automatic services, as defined in Recommendation ITU-R
M.493-14 [2], annex 2, clause 3.
• Class D: provides minimum facilities for VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine calling and
reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the GMDSS.
• Class E: provides minimum facilities for MF and/or HF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine
calling and reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the
GMDSS.
• Class H: provides minimum facilities for handheld VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine
calling and reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the
GMDSS.
• Class M: provides minimum facilities for VHF Man Overboard devices as defined in Recommendation ITU-R
M.493-14 [2].
NOTE 1: Class A and Class B equipment may support the optional semi-automatic/automatic service in accordance
with Recommendations ITU-R M.689-3 [4], M.1082-1 [5] and M.493-14 [2], tables 4.10.1 and 4.10.2 and
are encouraged to do so.
NOTE 2: Class D and Class E equipment may also support the optional semi-automatic/automatic service.

ETSI EN 300 338-1 V1.4.2 (2017-11) - Technical characteristics and methods of measurement for equipment for generation, transmission and reception of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) in the maritime MF, MF/HF and/or VHF mobile service; Part 1: Common requirements
Overview
SIST EN 300 338-1 V1.4.2:2018 specifies the minimum technical requirements and test methods for equipment used for the generation, transmission, and reception of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) in maritime communication. DSC is a cornerstone of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), enabling distress alerts and routine communication via MF, MF/HF, and VHF bands. This standard applies to equipment integrated with transmitters and/or receivers, as well as standalone DSC equipment used on board ships.
Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and aligned with ETSI EN 300 338-1, the standard ensures reliability, safety, and interoperability of maritime radio systems according to international conventions and IMO requirements.
Key Topics
- Scope and Purpose: Sets out mandatory minimum performance characteristics for DSC equipment to facilitate effective distress, urgency, safety, and routine maritime communications.
- Equipment Classes: Defines functional and operational requirements for different classes of DSC devices, including:
- Class A: Full-featured for SOLAS-compliant vessels with MF/HF and VHF GMDSS installations.
- Class B: Minimum requirements for non-SOLAS vessels requiring MF and/or VHF.
- Class D, E, H: Minimum requirements for non-SOLAS applications, including VHF, MF/HF, and handheld units for distress and routine communication.
- Class M: Special provisions for man overboard (MoB) VHF DSC devices.
- Regulatory Alignment: Incorporates provisions from ITU-R Recommendations (M.493-14, M.541-10, etc.), IMO resolutions, and SOLAS regulations.
- Testing and Measurement: Details standard test conditions, environmental tests (temperature, vibration, humidity), and performance verification methods for DSC equipment.
- Safety and Functional Features:
- Activation mechanisms for distress alerts
- Memory and marking requirements
- Signal integrity, calibration, and power management
- Interfaces for integration with navigation and bridge alert systems
Applications
DSC equipment compliant with SIST EN 300 338-1 V1.4.2:2018 is essential for maritime safety and operational reliability, supporting a wide range of vessels:
- SOLAS Ships: Large commercial vessels must carry Class A DSC equipment for integrated distress and routine communications in accordance with international safety regulations.
- Non-SOLAS Vessels: Smaller ships, fishing vessels, and leisure craft benefit from Class B, D, E, H, or M DSC equipment, enhancing safety through automated alerting and communication.
- Handheld and MoB Devices: Provides critical backup and personal safety features for crew in case of emergencies.
- Interoperability: Ensures compatibility and communication cohesion across vessels, coast stations, and rescue coordination centers, leveraging standardized frequencies and protocols.
Related Standards
To ensure broad international compliance and system interoperability, the following standards and regulatory references are closely connected to SIST EN 300 338-1 V1.4.2:2018:
- ITU-R Recommendations:
- M.493-14: Digital Selective Calling system requirements and procedures
- M.541-10, M.689-3, M.1082-1: Additional operational, procedural, and technical guidelines
- IMO Conventions and Circulars:
- SOLAS Convention: Carriage requirements for maritime safety
- IMO MSC/Circ.803: GMDSS equipment guidance for non-SOLAS vessels
- EN 300 338 Series:
- EN 300 338-2: Class A/B DSC equipment requirements
- EN 300 338-3: Class D equipment
- EN 300 338-4, -5, -6: Class E, H, and M equipment specifics
- EN 300 338-7, -8: Bridge alert system and remote control integration
By ensuring adherence to SIST EN 300 338-1 V1.4.2:2018, manufacturers and operators contribute to safer seas through reliable, coordinated digital maritime communications across all vessel classes and operational scenarios. This supports international search and rescue efforts, compliance with maritime law, and protection of life at sea.

1 Scope
The present document states the minimum requirements for equipment to be used for generation, transmission and
reception of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) for use on board ships.
DSC is intended to be used in the Medium Frequency (MF), High Frequency (HF) and Very High Frequency (VHF)
bands of the Maritime Mobile Service (MMS), for distress, urgency and safety communication and general
communications.
The present document is a multipart deliverable that covers the requirements to be fulfilled by:
- DSC equipment integrated with a transmitter and/or a receiver;
- DSC equipment not integrated with a transmitter and/or a receiver.
These requirements include the relevant provisions of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.17] and Recommendations ITU-R
M.493-14 [2], M.541-10 [3], M.689-3 [4] and M.1082-1 [5], the International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea
(SOLAS) [i.16], and the relevant resolutions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Equipment for generation, transmission and reception of DSC designed according to the following equipment classes:
• Class A: includes all the facilities defined in annex 1 of Recommendation ITU-R M.493-14 [2] and complies
with the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) carriage requirements for MF/HF
installations and/or VHF installations.
• Class B: provides minimum facilities for equipment on ships not required to use class A equipment and
complies with the minimum IMO GMDSS carriage requirements for MF and/or VHF installations. This
equipment should provide for:
- alerting, acknowledgement and relay facilities for distress purposes;
- calling and acknowledgement for general communication purposes; and
- calling in connection with semi-automatic/automatic services, as defined in Recommendation ITU-R
M.493-14 [2], annex 2, clause 3.
• Class D: provides minimum facilities for VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine calling and
reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the GMDSS.
• Class E: provides minimum facilities for MF and/or HF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine
calling and reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the
GMDSS.
• Class H: provides minimum facilities for handheld VHF DSC distress, urgency and safety as well as routine
calling and reception as recommended by IMO MSC/Circ.803 [i.2] for non-SOLAS vessels participating in the
GMDSS.
• Class M: provides minimum facilities for VHF Man Overboard devices as defined in Recommendation ITU-R
M.493-14 [2].
NOTE 1: Class A and Class B equipment may support the optional semi-automatic/automatic service in accordance
with Recommendations ITU-R M.689-3 [4], M.1082-1 [5] and M.493-14 [2], tables 4.10.1 and 4.10.2 and
are encouraged to do so.
NOTE 2: Class D and Class E equipment may also support the optional semi-automatic/automatic service.
