Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
Introduction
On global level civil aviation is governed by the ICAO convention which has been signed (among others) by all
member states of the European Union. Annex 10 to this convention (sometimes augmented by other types of ICAO
documents) provides the necessary provisions for the global interoperability between the radio equipment installed
on-board of aircrafts and the ground-based, air traffic management related radio equipment.
R&TTE Directive [i.7] was introduced in order to support a market-led approach into the Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment sector, and it removed the regime of type approvals. Conformity with the
Essential Requirements in article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.7] became by manufacturer's declaration, and could be
based on Harmonized Standards, or using other means. Annex I.5 of R&TTE Directive [i.7] exempted radio equipment
on board of aircraft and annex I.6 of that directive exempted consistently air traffic management equipment from its
application.
The European Union launched the "Single European Sky" (SES) legislation in 2002 which was adopted in 2004 and
amended in 2009 [i.26].
The SES legislation is based on a framework of 4 regulations, which includes the Interoperability Regulation [i.1]. The
objective of the Interoperability Regulation is to ensure interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management
Network (EATMN) consistent with air navigation services including ground-based, air-borne and space-based
constituents. Under this regulation, the use of a European Standard referenced in the Official Journal of the European
Union as Community Specification (CS) is a means of compliance to the essential requirements of the Regulation
and/or the relevant implementing rules for interoperability.
Following a legal opinion of the European Commission presented to TCAM the exemption of air traffic management
equipment from the application of R&TTE Directive [i.7] ended 18 month after the coming into force of the
Interoperability Regulation [i.1] as a consequence of the transition arrangements included in the latter.
Consequently the European Commission issued mandate M/405 to CEN, CENELEC ETSI to produce Harmonized
Standards covering the Essential Requirements of R&TTE Directive for air traffic management radio equipment while
mandates M/390, M/408 and M/438 were issued to produce Community Specifications as means of compliance to the
Essential Requirements of the Interoperability Regulation [i.1] and the relevant implementing rules for interoperability.
The present document provides the results of an analysis under which legal framework the requirements on
RF-parameters of ATM equipment fall.

1 Scope
The present document summarizes the rationale on which current developments of ETSI European standards (EN) for
ground-based air traffic management radio equipment and constituents has been based to allocate RF-parameters either
to Harmonized Standards covering essential requirements under the R&TTE Directive [i.7] or to Community
Specifications as means of compliance to the essential requirements of the Interoperability Regulation [i.1] and the
requirements from relevant implementing rules for interoperability.
NOTE: This rationale is consistent with the existing ETSI documents EG 201 399 [i.4] and TR 102 579 [i.5] on
the development of such documents.
