Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group (SMG) of the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The present TBR has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission
issued under Council Directive 83/189/EEC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of
information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
The present TBR is intended to become a Harmonized Standard as requested by the above mentioned
mandate, 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 concerning
telecommunications terminal equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity (Directive
91/263/EEC, known as "the TTE Directive").
A common technical regulation may be established by the European Commission in accordance with the
Directive.
Technical specifications relevant to the 91/263/EEC Directive are given in the TBR-Requirements Table
(TBR-RT) in annex A.
This TBR covers the general access requirements for terminal equipment for Phase 2 of the public land
mobile radio service, operating in
- the DCS 1 800 band; or
- both in the DCS 1 800 band and the GSM 900 MHz band.
This TBR contains the procedures and requirements for the approval testing of DCS 1 800 and Multiband
terminal equipment for access.
The requirements of other TBRs apply in addition to this TBR.
For each test, supplementary information is provided, giving a justification why this item has been selected
for regulatory testing, and a reference to the relevant article of the Terminal Directive [1].
This TBR is based on the ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
NOTE: This TBR for Phase 2 may be developed in stages. The first release will include, as a
minimum, all of the basic Phase 2 requirements for full rate.

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements to be met by terminal
equipment capable of connecting to a public telecommunications network. These requirements apply to
terminals for Phase 2 of the public land mobile radio service, operating in
- the DCS 1 800 band; or
- both in the DCS 1 800 band and the GSM 900 MHz band.
with a channel separation of 200 kHz, utilizing constant envelope modulation and carrying traffic channels
according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle.
This TBR specifies the access requirements for terminals as stated above implementing the GSM
standard.
For each test purpose and its corresponding conformance requirement, a reference is given to the test
method in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. The requirements apply at the air interface and the
Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment interface for the access requirements, which may be
stimulated to perform the tests by additional equipment if necessary.
The measurement uncertainty is described in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
This TBR covers the essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4d, 4e, 4f.
Non access related aspects of speech telephony, where Article 4g has been applied, are covered by
TBR 32.
The Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4a and 4b are covered by other directives, and, therefore,
not by this TBR.
In this TBR, there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility technical requirements in terms of the Terminal
Directive 91/263/EEC [1], Article 4c.
NOTE: Technical Requirements for EMC performance and testing of the equipment are
covered by the relevant standards applicable to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC,
annex A.
Terminal equipment may be subject to additional requirements in other Common Technical Regulations
(CTR) depending on the equipments functionality.
ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] constitutes the conformance test suite referenced by this TBR. The
verification of the conformance requirements in this TBR is based on the tests described in this reference.
The set of requirements in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] and the set of requirements in this TBR
need not be identical.
Some requirements only apply to specific types of mobile station (e.g. data tests only apply to mobile
stations with a data facility). The TBR also indicates the specific test which should be carried out for each
mobile station type.
An active accessory is covered by this TBR if it modifies the terminal performance in an aspect which
affects conformance to essential requirements.
NOTE: Only active devices are subject to this TBR. Accessories may be tested with specific
terminals, and either approved for use with those terminals only, or may possibly be
approved for use with a wider range of terminals, depending on the nature and effect
of the accessory.

Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group (SMG) of the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The present TBR has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission
issued under Council Directive 83/189/EEC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of
information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
The present TBR is intended to become a Harmonized Standard as requested by the above mentioned
mandate, 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 concerning
telecommunications terminal equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity (Directive
91/263/EEC, known as "the TTE Directive").
A common technical regulation may be established by the European Commission in accordance with the
Directive.
Technical specifications relevant to the 91/263/EEC Directive are given in the TBR-Requirements Table
(TBR-RT) in annex A.
This TBR covers the general access requirements for terminal equipment for Phase 2 of the public land
mobile radio service, operating in
- the DCS 1 800 band; or
- both in the DCS 1 800 band and the GSM 900 MHz band.
This TBR contains the procedures and requirements for the approval testing of DCS 1 800 and Multiband
terminal equipment for access.
The requirements of other TBRs apply in addition to this TBR.
For each test, supplementary information is provided, giving a justification why this item has been selected
for regulatory testing, and a reference to the relevant article of the Terminal Directive [1].
This TBR is based on the ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
NOTE: This TBR for Phase 2 may be developed in stages. The first release will include, as a
minimum, all of the basic Phase 2 requirements for full rate.

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements to be met by terminal
equipment capable of connecting to a public telecommunications network. These requirements apply to
terminals for Phase 2 of the public land mobile radio service, operating in
- the DCS 1 800 band; or
- both in the DCS 1 800 band and the GSM 900 MHz band.
with a channel separation of 200 kHz, utilizing constant envelope modulation and carrying traffic channels
according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle.
This TBR specifies the access requirements for terminals as stated above implementing the GSM
standard.
For each test purpose and its corresponding conformance requirement, a reference is given to the test
method in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. The requirements apply at the air interface and the
Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment interface for the access requirements, which may be
stimulated to perform the tests by additional equipment if necessary.
The measurement uncertainty is described in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
This TBR covers the essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4d, 4e, 4f.
Non access related aspects of speech telephony, where Article 4g has been applied, are covered by
TBR 32.
The Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4a and 4b are covered by other directives, and, therefore,
not by this TBR.
In this TBR, there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility technical requirements in terms of the Terminal
Directive 91/263/EEC [1], Article 4c.
NOTE: Technical Requirements for EMC performance and testing of the equipment are
covered by the relevant standards applicable to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC,
annex A.
Terminal equipment may be subject to additional requirements in other Common Technical Regulations
(CTR) depending on the equipments functionality.
ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] constitutes the conformance test suite referenced by this TBR. The
verification of the conformance requirements in this TBR is based on the tests described in this reference.
The set of requirements in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] and the set of requirements in this TBR
need not be identical.
Some requirements only apply to specific types of mobile station (e.g. data tests only apply to mobile
stations with a data facility). The TBR also indicates the specific test which should be carried out for each
mobile station type.
An active accessory is covered by this TBR if it modifies the terminal performance in an aspect which
affects conformance to essential requirements.
NOTE: Only active devices are subject to this TBR. Accessories may be tested with specific
terminals, and either approved for use with those terminals only, or may possibly be
approved for use with a wider range of terminals, depending on the nature and effect
of the accessory.
