Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 1: Common technical requirements

Scope

The present document contains the common requirements for radio communications equipment and associated ancillary
equipment, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Product dependent arrangements necessary to perform the EMC tests on dedicated types of radio communications
equipment, and the assessment of test results, are detailed in the appropriate product related parts of the present
document.
The present document, together with the product related part, specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of
measurement, the limits and the performance criteria for radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. In case of
differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviation) between this part and the relevant
product related part of the present document, the product related part takes precedence.
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of radio equipment and radiated emissions from the enclosure port
of radio equipment and combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment are not included in the present
document. Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the
radio spectrum.
The environment classification used in the present document refers to the environment classification used in:
- EN 50081-1 [5] and EN 50082-1 [6] for the residential, commercial and light industrial environment; or
- TR 101 651 [16] for the telecommunication centre environment; or
- ISO 7637-1 [14] and ISO 7637-2 [15] for the vehicular environment.
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus intended to be
used in the environments mentioned above. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any
location but with low probability of occurrence. The applicable environment(s) shall be declared by the manufacturer
and shall be in accordance with the equipment documentation.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomenon is permanently present, e.g. a radar or
broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the
source of interference or the interfered part or both.
Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any
requirements related to spectrum management or to the use of the equipment (licensing requirements).
Compliance to the requirements of the present document does not signify compliance to any safety requirements.
However, it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment to record in the test report any observations regarding
the test sample becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests called for in the present
document.
NOTE: Radio equipment for use in maritime environment is covered by other ETSI EMC standards.
