M/239 - Air Trafic management
Mandate to CEN/CENELEC/ETSI for standardization, and a study, in the field of air traffic management equipment and systems
Mandate M/239 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop standards and conduct a study in the field of air traffic management equipment and systems. The objective is to support interoperability, safety, and efficiency within air traffic management through harmonized European standards. The mandate was subject to approval or disapproval by the relevant technical bodies, referencing resolution CEN/BT C149/1997. This initiative aims to facilitate coordinated development and deployment of standardized solutions across the European air traffic management sector.
Purpose
This mandate aims to initiate standardisation activities focused on air traffic management (ATM) equipment and systems. The objective is to develop harmonized standards that support the interoperability, safety, and efficiency of air traffic management infrastructure across European airspace.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests the European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to undertake the development of relevant standards. Additionally, it calls for conducting a study related to ATM equipment and systems to inform and support the standardisation process.
Expected deliverables
- A set of harmonised standards covering air traffic management equipment and systems.
- A comprehensive study report providing analysis and recommendations related to ATM standardisation needs.
Context
This mandate reflects the EU's ongoing efforts to enhance the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) objectives through coordinated standardisation. Establishing common standards in ATM is essential for ensuring safe and efficient air traffic operations while facilitating cross-border interoperability. The mandate was considered under the resolution reference CEN/BT C149/1997.
The mandate covers standardization and a study in the field of air traffic management equipment and systems.
General Information
This European Standard specifies the basic requirements for the planning, implementation and operation of information technology cabling using balanced copper cabling and optical fibre cabling. This standard is applicable to
a) cabling designed to support particular analogue and digital communications services including voice services;
b) generic cabling systems designed in accordance with series EN 50173 and intended to support a wide range of communications services.
This standard is intended for those involved in the procurement, installation and operation of information technology cabling. Furthermore this standard is addressed to
- architects, building designers and builders;
- main contractors;
- designers, suppliers, installers, maintainers and owners of information technology cabling;
- public network providers and local service providers;
- end users.
This standard is applicable to certain hazardous environments but does not exclude additional requirements which are applicable in particular circumstances, e.g. in the presence of electricity supply and electrified railways.
This part of the standard
c) sets out requirements for satisfactory installation and operation of information technology cabling outside buildings; it is not restricted to campus areas,
d) excludes specific requirements applicable to other cabling systems (e.g. power cabling, coaxial cabling); however, it takes account of the effects other cabling systems may have on the installation of information technology cabling (and vice versa) and gives general advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/239 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to CEN/CENELEC/ETSI for standardization, and a study, in the field of air traffic management equipment and systems". Mandate to CEN/CENELEC/ETSI for standardization, and a study, in the field of air traffic management equipment and systems There are 4 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
