Overview
SIST EN 300 720-2:2001 is a harmonised European standard addressing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Radio Spectrum Matters (ERM) for Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) on-board communications systems and equipment. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and aligned with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), this standard directly supports equipment compliance under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC).
By defining essential requirements for UHF on-board radio equipment, SIST EN 300 720-2:2001 ensures that radio apparatus:
- Efficiently utilizes the radio spectrum,
- Minimizes risk of harmful interference,
- Demonstrates reliable operation across specified UHF channels.
This standard is vital for manufacturers, system integrators, and conformity assessment bodies engaged in navigation, control, and communication equipment for on-board (particularly maritime) applications.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Covers UHF on-board communications systems and equipment operating on simplex and repeater channels specified for maritime and other on-board applications.
- Specifies mandatory technical requirements only for equipment intending usage under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive.
- The equipment is expected to operate effectively without causing undue interference in the allocated UHF radio spectrum.
Conformance Requirements
SIST EN 300 720-2:2001 sets forth essential requirements, including but not limited to:
- Transmitter frequency characteristics: Error, carrier power, frequency deviation, adjacent channel power, spurious emissions (both through the antenna and other means).
- Receiver performance: Usable sensitivity, co-channel and adjacent channel selectivity, spurious response and intermodulation rejection, blocking or desensitization, spurious emissions.
- Environmental profile: Equipment must operate reliably within defined environmental conditions as classified per equipment type.
- Compliance Testing: Describes how to verify conformance through test suites and outlines measurement uncertainties.
Harmonised Approach
- Ties requirements and test methods to existing European standards and references, particularly EN 300 720-1 for specific measurement methods and definitions.
- Offers a modular structure for standardization, enabling easy adaptation for new equipment interfaces, frequency bands, or regulatory updates.
Applications
SIST EN 300 720-2:2001 is principally intended for:
- UHF radio equipment used on vessels and other on-board environments, including navigation and control operations for both commercial and mission-critical purposes.
- Manufacturers seeking CE marking and compliance under the R&TTE Directive for radio and telecommunications terminal equipment.
- System designers and integrators requiring assurance that onboard UHF communications will coexist harmoniously with other onboard systems and meet limits on electromagnetic emissions.
- Certification and testing bodies needing a harmonized, referenced approach to ensure equipment meets European EMC and radio spectrum regulations.
This standard is particularly relevant where strict electromagnetic compatibility and avoidance of radio interference is crucial - such as in maritime communications, aviation on-board communications, and industrial transportation sectors.
Related Standards
To achieve full conformity and comprehensive EMC and radio compliance, SIST EN 300 720-2:2001 references or should be coordinated with:
- EN 300 720-1: Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters (ERM); UHF on-board communications systems and equipment; Part 1: Technical characteristics and methods of measurement.
- Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive): Framework directive for radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment.
- Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive): Requirements for electromagnetic compatibility.
- Directive 73/23/EEC (LV Directive): For electrical equipment within specific voltage limits.
- ETSI Technical Report ETR 028: On measurement uncertainties for radio equipment.
Maintaining compliance with these standards ensures the lawful placement of UHF communications equipment on the European market, non-interference with essential services, and safety for users and systems alike.
