Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee

Foreword
This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
Introduction
The main objective of the present document is to set out a code of practice for the use and application of Ground
Probing Radar (GPR) and Wall Probing Radar (WPR).
Ground Probing Radar (GPR) a well accepted geophysical method used to explore sub-surfaces. This technique has
been in existence for more than 40 years, and has many beneficial uses in science, engineering, surveying, and
maintenance of structures. Wall Probing Radar (WPR) has a similar history and is primarily used in the analysis of
structures. Examples of the application of GPR/WPR are set out in annex A of the present document.
Unlike radio communication equipment/systems GPR/WPR does not radiate the wanted/necessary signal into the
atmosphere, but into the sub-surface or a sub-structure The only signals which radiate into the atmosphere are those
radiated /leaked from the structure/ housing of the GPR/WPR equipment and for best operating results these undesired
emissions are kept to a minimum.
This equipment is subject to the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] and the ETSI harmonized standards set out below
may be used to demonstrate presumption of conformity, to the directive as follows:
• EN 301 489-1 [i.4] and EN 301 489-32 [i.5], to cover the requirements of Article 3.1b (Electromagnetic
compatibility).
• EN 302 066-1 [i.2] and EN 302 066-2 [i.3], to cover the requirements of Article 3.2 (Frequency spectrum
management).
• ETSI does not produce harmonized standards to cover Article 3.1a (Safety requirements), as this is the
responsibility of the standards body CENELEC, but the CENELEC Generic standard EN 60950 [i.6] covering
this subject may be used.
It is important to note that although meeting the requirements of the R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] facilitates
placing the GPR/WPR equipment on the market, it is still necessary to have authority to use the equipment in each
individual country. Normally permission to use the equipment is via a licence, which is controlled by the country's
government administration responsible for the administration of the frequency spectrum.

1 Scope
The present document sets out the code of practice for the control and application of Ground Probing Radar (GPR) and
Wall Probing Radar (WPR) systems and equipment.
This type of equipment is normally used by competent professional personnel.
Applications of GPR/WPR are shown in the annex A.
The modern world relies on a wide variety of radio systems covering many diverse activities, ranging from systems on
which safety of life depends, through to communications systems used scientifically, and commercially including the
general public, broadcasting and many other applications. These diverse radio systems operate successfully together
because compatibility requirements for each service have been carefully considered in terms of the planning of the radio
frequency spectrum. Radio systems normally operate successfully together, but on occasions because of exceptional
situations interference may occur. In this context GPR/WPR systems are no different to other radio systems.
The undesired radiation emitted from GPR/WPR systems have been carefully evaluated as part of the spectrum
requirements and it has been demonstrated from practical use, that these systems are unlikely to cause interference to
other radio systems.
This code of practice has been produced to ensure that interference from GPR/WPR systems to other radio systems is
minimized, and that GPR/WPR users are made aware of the appropriate procedures set out in the present document.
