Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [17] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (2004/108/EC [16] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC [15] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive [16] and the R&TTE Directive [15] are given in annex A.
The present document is based upon the Generic Standards EN 61000-6-3 [18] and EN 61000-6-1 [19] and other
standards, where appropriate, to meet the essential requirements of Council Directives 2004/108/EC [16],
1999/5/EC [15] and the motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23] respectively.
The motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23], is a type approval Directive, and contains in its annexes, all the
technical requirements necessary to demonstrate conformance. There are two categories of after market equipment
covered by the Directive as follows:
a) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle, and
which are not related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12 of the Directive) of the motor
vehicle.
b) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle , and
which are related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12) of the motor vehicle, are subject to
type approval requirements of the Directive 2004/104/EC [23].
The present document only deals with equipment of category a) subject to the requirements set out below.
Annex I, clause 3.2.9 of 2004/104/EC [23], sets out the acceptance of conformity according to the procedures of
2004/108/EC [16] or 1999/5/EC [15] for after market equipment (ESAs) not related to immunity related functions of the
motor vehicle (annex I, clause 2.1.12), but additionally requires that the ESA fulfils the limits defined in annex I,
clauses 6.5, 6.6, 6.8, and 6.9 of the Directive. Requirements applicable to this type of after market equipment (ESAs)
are set out in annex B of the present document.
The present document, and the product related parts of it are based on the current EMC standards published by ETSI. It
should be noted that the majority of these EMC standards have also been published in the Official Journal of the
European Commission.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part EMC standard for radio equipment which is structured in the following
way:
• One EMC standard for all radio equipment made up of several parts.
• All common technical requirements for EMC emission and immunity have been placed in the common part,
which is the present document.
• Separate parts have been developed to cover specific product related radio equipment test conditions, test
arrangements, performance assessment, performance criteria, etc.
• A clause is included in each of the specific radio parts, entitled "special conditions", which is used as
appropriate to cover any deviations or additions to the common requirements set out in the present document.
To demonstrate an adequate level of EMC protection, the present document is to be used together with the appropriate
specific radio part of the standard.

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [17] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (2004/108/EC [16] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC [15] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive [16] and the R&TTE Directive [15] are given in annex A.
The present document is based upon the Generic Standards EN 61000-6-3 [18] and EN 61000-6-1 [19] and other
standards, where appropriate, to meet the essential requirements of Council Directives 2004/108/EC [16],
1999/5/EC [15] and the motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23] respectively.
The motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23], is a type approval Directive, and contains in its annexes, all the
technical requirements necessary to demonstrate conformance. There are two categories of after market equipment
covered by the Directive as follows:
a) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle, and
which are not related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12 of the Directive) of the motor
vehicle.
b) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle , and
which are related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12) of the motor vehicle, are subject to
type approval requirements of the Directive 2004/104/EC [23].
The present document only deals with equipment of category a) subject to the requirements set out below.
Annex I, clause 3.2.9 of 2004/104/EC [23], sets out the acceptance of conformity according to the procedures of
2004/108/EC [16] or 1999/5/EC [15] for after market equipment (ESAs) not related to immunity related functions of the
motor vehicle (annex I, clause 2.1.12), but additionally requires that the ESA fulfils the limits defined in annex I,
clauses 6.5, 6.6, 6.8, and 6.9 of the Directive. Requirements applicable to this type of after market equipment (ESAs)
are set out in annex B of the present document.
The present document, and the product related parts of it are based on the current EMC standards published by ETSI. It
should be noted that the majority of these EMC standards have also been published in the Official Journal of the
European Commission.

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the Vote phase of the
ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [17] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (2004/108/EC [16] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC [15] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive [16] and the R&TTE Directive [15] are given in annex A.
The present document is based upon the Generic Standards EN 61000-6-3 [18] and EN 61000-6-1 [19] and other
standards, where appropriate, to meet the essential requirements of Council Directives 2004/108/EC [16],
1999/5/EC [15] and the motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23] respectively.
The motor vehicle EMC Directive 2004/104/EC [23], is a type approval Directive, and contains in its annexes, all the
technical requirements necessary to demonstrate conformance. There are two categories of after market equipment
covered by the Directive as follows:
a) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle, and
which are not related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12 of the Directive) of the motor
vehicle.
b) After market (radio) equipment (and ancillary equipment) intended for installation in a motor vehicle , and
which is related to immunity related functions (annex I, clause 2.1.12) of the motor vehicle, are subject to
type approval requirements of the Directive 2004/104/EC [23].
The present document only deals with equipment of category a) subject to the requirements set out below.
Annex I, clause 3.2.9 of 2004/104/EC [23], sets out the acceptance of conformity according to the procedures of
2004/108/EC [16] or 1999/5/EC [15] for after market equipment (ESAs) not related to immunity related functions of the
motor vehicle (annex I, clause 2.1.12), but additionally requires that the ESA fulfils the limits defined in annex I,
clauses 6.5, 6.6, 6.8, and 6.9 of the Directive. Requirements applicable to this type of after market equipment (ESAs)
are set out in annex B of the present document.
The present document, and the product related parts of it are based on the current EMC standards published by ETSI. It
should be noted that the majority of these EMC standards have also been published in the Official Journal of the
European Commission.
