Overview
EN 166100:1998 - Sectional Specification: Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters is a CLC (European) sectional specification referenced under ICS 31.160 (Electric filters). Adopted nationally as SIST EN 166100:2003, it provides a harmonized framework for specifying and evaluating surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters used in electronic and RF applications. The document supports consistent terminology, performance expectations, and conformity assessment between manufacturers, test laboratories, and purchasers.
Key topics
While the original text is a sectional specification, typical technical topics and requirements covered include:
- Scope and definitions - clear terminology for SAW filter types and construction.
- Classification and ratings - how filters are grouped by application and electrical class.
- Electrical characteristics - standardized ways to express performance (for example: insertion loss, bandwidth, center frequency and return loss) and how these are specified for orders and datasheets.
- Environmental and mechanical requirements - general expectations for mounting, mechanical robustness and environmental conditioning during testing.
- Test and measurement methods - procedures for verifying compliance with declared electrical and environmental parameters.
- Marking, documentation and packaging - required information on labels, datasheets, and storage/transport handling.
Note: EN 166100 is a sectional specification; exact test methods and numerical limits are provided in the full standard text and associated normative references.
Applications
EN 166100 is directly relevant to industries and professionals dealing with RF and electronic filtering components:
- SAW filter manufacturers - to produce components that meet agreed European sectional requirements.
- Design engineers in telecommunications, wireless modules, TV tuners and sensor interfaces, for specifying components in system BOMs.
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams - for developing test procedures and verifying supplier claims.
- Procurement and compliance specialists - to ensure purchased SAW filters conform to recognized European specifications.
Using a common specification like EN 166100 improves interoperability, reduces ambiguity in procurement, and helps ensure predictable performance for RF systems.
Related standards
- EN 166100 aligns with the CLC framework for component specifications (note: CLC/TC 49 has been disbanded).
- For complete compliance, users should consult the full EN 166100 text and relevant IEC/EN standards covering RF components, test methods, and environmental testing referenced therein.
