Foreword
This final draft ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and
Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the ETSI standards Membership Approval Procedure.
The plan is to provide it to TC ERM for approval for Member Vote at meeting #54 of TC-ERM.
The drafting of the present document has been triggered by the publication of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) i.e.
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].
In the present document the major differences between the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and the RED [i.1] and their impact in
the drafting of Harmonized Standards have been highlighted. This approach has been followed as ETSI is working, at
the moment when the present version of the Guide is being written, on a work programme whereby the Harmonized
Standards supporting the R&TTE Directive [i.2] will be converted to support the RED [i.1]. It is therfore necessary to
have the elements identifying what should be changed when converting the Harmonized Standards.
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "may not", "need", "need not", "will",
"will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms
for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
Earlier versions of the present document had been prepared to assist ETSI Technical Bodies in the preparation of
Harmonized Standards for application under the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
Directive (R&TTE Directive [i.2]) only. In addition, the present document addresses the first guidance on the impact on
the drafting of Harmonized Standards for application under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.1]; furthermore, it
supports a consistent interpretation of the technical (and possibly non-technical) requirements needed to implement the
essential requirements of these Directives.
ETSI has published more than two hundred Harmonized Standards in relation to the R&TTE Directive. Therefore, the
present document includes detailed comparisons of the two Radio Directives [i.2] and [i.1] (in particular in clause 4).
Aspects relating to the transition between the R&TTE Directive [i.2] to the RED [i.1] are covered in clause 7.3 of the
present document.
ETSI
7 Final draft ETSI EG 201 399 V3.1.1 (2015-01)
Annex C to the present document gives some background to the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and to the RED [i.1]. Reference
is made to the framework of legal documents implementing these Directives, but the present document should not be
taken as an interpretation, amplification, or restatement of any other documents. A number of requirements originate
from the legal framework in place and not from the present document.
A short list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) relating to Harmonized Standards under these Radio Directives [i.2]
and [i.1], and/or the present document as well as their answers is provided in annex G.
NOTE: At the time of drafting the present document, TCAM had not yet had the opportunity of offering
clarifications on the RED. A TCAM guide on the RED is planned to be prepared.

1 Scope
The present document gives guidance to ETSI Technical Bodies and Rapporteurs on the production of Harmonized
Standards (HSs) produced by ETSI for application:
• under the R&TTE Directive [i.2] (article 5); and
• a first guide under the RED [i.1] (articles 16 and 17).
NOTE: In the present document, where "the Radio Directives" is written, this means the R&TTE Directive [i.2]
and/or to the RED [i.1], as appropriate.

measurement" or "test", as appropriate (see clause 7.2.10, annex F and "Q6" in annex G) in HSs under the
RED.
essential requirement: requirement identified in article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and in article 3 of the RED [i.1]
NOTE: See also the Blue Guide clause 4.1.1 [i.20].
harmful interference: is "interference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety
services or which otherwise seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunications service
operating in accordance with the applicable Community or national regulations"
NOTE 1: Source: R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2i.
NOTE 2: The definition of "Harmfull interference" is also defined in the RED (article 2(7)) through a reference to
the Framework Directive.
Harmonized Standard (HS): has the same meaning as harmonized standard in the R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2h:
"a technical specification adopted by a recognized standards body under a mandate from the Commission in conformity
with the procedures laid down in Directive 98/34/EC [i.12] for the purposes of establishing a European requirement,
compliance with which is not compulsory" and as in the RED [i.1], article 2 (18)
NOTE 1: Unless the context indicates otherwise, this is restricted to those Harmonized Standards within the scope
of the present document.
NOTE 2: Directive 98/34/EC [i.12] has been replaced by Regulation 1025/2012/EU [i.11], where the new
definition of Harmonized Standard is provided in point 1 of article 2 as "(c) 'harmonised standard' means a
European standard adopted on the basis of a request made by the Commission for the application of Union
harmonization legislation".
HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications Table (HS-RT(T)): table annexed to a Harmonized Standard
concisely setting out explicit references to the specification of each technical (and possibly non-technical) requirement
and, where appropriate, the corresponding test procedure which may be executed to demonstrate that a particular
equipment conforms with that requirement (see annex F of the present document)
interference: effect of unwanted energy due to one or a combination of emissions, radiation, or induction upon
reception in a radiocommunication system, manifested by any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of
information which could be extracted in the absence of such unwanted energy
other test suite: other test procedure(s) not referred to in annex III of the R&TTE Directive [i.2]
NOTE: In the RED, the term "essential radio test suite" is not used. Term "other test suite" to be replaced by
"method of measurement" or "test", as appropriate (see clause 7.2.10, annex F and "Q6" in annex G) in
HSs under the RED.

Foreword
This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
The drafting of the present document has been triggered by the publication of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) i.e.
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].
In the present document the major differences between the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and the RED [i.1] and their impact in
the drafting of Harmonized Standards have been highlighted. This approach has been followed as ETSI is working, at
the moment when the present version of the Guide is being written, on a work programme whereby the Harmonized
Standards supporting the R&TTE Directive [i.2] will be converted to support the RED [i.1]. It is therfore necessary to
have the elements identifying what should be changed when converting the Harmonized Standards.
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
Earlier versions of the present document had been prepared to assist ETSI Technical Bodies in the preparation of
Harmonized Standards for application under the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
Directive (R&TTE Directive [i.2]) only. In addition, the present document addresses the first guidance on the impact on
the drafting of Harmonized Standards for application under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.1]; furthermore, it
supports a consistent interpretation of the technical (and possibly non-technical) requirements needed to implement the
essential requirements of these Directives.
ETSI has published more than two hundred Harmonized Standards in relation to the R&TTE Directive. Therefore, the
present document includes detailed comparisons of the two Radio Directives [i.2] and [i.1] (in particular in clause 4).
Aspects relating to the transition between the R&TTE Directive [i.2] to the RED [i.1] are covered in clause 7.3 of the
present document.
Annex C to the present document gives some background to the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and to the RED [i.1]. Reference
is made to the framework of legal documents implementing these Directives, but the present document should not be
taken as an interpretation, amplification, or restatement of any other documents. A number of requirements originate
from the legal framework in place and not from the present document.
A short list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) relating to Harmonized Standards under these Radio Directives [i.2]
and [i.1], and/or the present document as well as their answers is provided in annex G.
NOTE: At the time of drafting the present document, TCAM had not yet had the opportunity of offering
clarifications on the RED. A TCAM guide on the RED is planned to be prepared.

1 Scope
The present document gives guidance to ETSI Technical Bodies and Rapporteurs on the production of Harmonized
Standards (HSs) produced by ETSI for application:
• under the R&TTE Directive [i.2] (article 5); and
• a first guide under the RED [i.1] (articles 16 and 17).
NOTE: In the present document, where "the Radio Directives" is written, this means the R&TTE Directive [i.2]
and/or to the RED [i.1], as appropriate.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in R&TTE Directive [i.2], the RED [i.1] and
the following apply:
equipment class: has the same meaning as equipment class in the R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2f: "a class identifying
particular types of apparatus which under this Directive are considered similar and those interfaces for which the
apparatus is designed"
NOTE 1: Apparatus may belong to more than one equipment class.
NOTE 2: See also Commission Decision 2000/299/EC of 6 April 2000 [i.19].
essential radio test suite: one or more essential test procedure(s), referred to in annex III of the R&TTE Directive [i.2]
NOTE: In the RED, the term "essential radio test suite" is not used. Term to be replaced by "method of
measurement" or "test", as appropriate (see clause 7.2.10, annex F and "Q6" in annex G) in HSs under the
RED.
essential requirement: requirement identified in article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.2] and in article 3 of the RED [i.1]
NOTE: See also the Blue Guide clause 4.1.1 [i.20].
harmful interference: is "interference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety
services or which otherwise seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunications service
operating in accordance with the applicable Community or national regulations"
NOTE 1: Source: R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2i.
NOTE 2: The definition of "Harmfull interference" is also defined in the RED (article 2(7)) through a reference to
the Framework Directive.
Harmonized Standard (HS): has the same meaning as harmonized standard in the R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2h:
"a technical specification adopted by a recognized standards body under a mandate from the Commission in conformity
with the procedures laid down in Directive 98/34/EC [i.12] for the purposes of establishing a European requirement,
compliance with which is not compulsory" and as in the RED [i.1], article 2 (18)
NOTE 1: Unless the context indicates otherwise, this is restricted to those Harmonized Standards within the scope
of the present document.
NOTE 2: Directive 98/34/EC [i.12] has been replaced by Regulation 1025/2012/EU [i.11], where the new
definition of Harmonized Standard is provided in point 1 of article 2 as "(c) 'harmonised standard' means a
European standard adopted on the basis of a request made by the Commission for the application of Union
harmonization legislation".
HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications Table (HS-RT(T)): table annexed to a Harmonized Standard
concisely setting out explicit references to the specification of each technical (and possibly non-technical) requirement
and, where appropriate, the corresponding test procedure which may be executed to demonstrate that a particular
equipment conforms with that requirement (see annex F of the present document)
interference: effect of unwanted energy due to one or a combination of emissions, radiation, or induction upon
reception in a radiocommunication system, manifested by any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of
information which could be extracted in the absence of such unwanted energy
other test suite: other test procedure(s) not referred to in annex III of the R&TTE Directive [i.2]
NOTE: In the RED, the term "essential radio test suite" is not used. Term "other test suite" to be replaced by
"method of measurement" or "test", as appropriate (see clause 7.2.10, annex F and "Q6" in annex G) in
HSs under the RED.
ETSI
12 ETSI EG 201 399 V3.1.1 (2015-03)
Radio Equipment (RE): radio equipment as defined in R&TTE Directive [i.2], article 2(c), subject to the general
exclusions within the R&TTE Directive [i.2] (see its annex I)
NOTE: This term has been defined in a different way in the RED [i.1], as follows, and is 4 fold:
(1) "'radio equipment' means an electrical or electronic product, which intentionally emits and/or
receives radio waves for the purpose of radio communication and/or radiodetermination, or an
electrical or electronic product which must be completed with an accessory, such as antenna, so as
to intentionally emit and/or receive radio waves for the purpose of radio communication and/or
radiodetermination [i.1];
(2) 'radio communication' means communication by means of radio waves [i.1];
(3) 'radiodetermination' means the determination of the position, velocity and/or other characteristics of
an object, or the obtaining of information relating to those parameters, by means of the propagation
properties of radio waves [i.1];
(4) 'radio waves' means electromagnetic waves of frequencies lower than 3 000 GHz, propagated in
space without artificial guide [i.1]".
recital: "whereas" in the RED [i.1]
resistibility: resistibility is the ability of telecommunication equipment or installations to withstand, in general, without
damage, the effects of overvoltages or overcurrents, up to a certain specified extent, and in accordance with a specified
criterion
NOTE 1: Source: Recommendation ITU-T K.44 [i.36].
NOTE 2: Resistibility is considered to cater for the needs of the whole of the telecommunication network, i.e. all
types of networks, public and private, as well as any equipment installed in or connected to this network.
The resistibility requirements are based on the following electromagnetic phenomena: lightning, power
induction, earth potential rise and low-voltage power contact.
