1 Scope
The present document applies to user equipment, repeaters and base stations for IMT, falling within the scope of one of
the other parts of ETSI EN 301 908 [i.8], except for IMT-2000 FDMA/TDMA (DECT). The present document also
covers the corresponding ancillary equipment.
NOTE 1: ETSI EN 301 908-10 [i.7] contains in particular requirements for radiated spurious emissions and control
and monitoring functions applicable to IMT-2000 FDMA/TDMA (DECT) equipment.
The present document includes technical requirements which are common to equipment falling within the scope of
several of the other parts. It should be used in conjunction with at least another part of ETSI EN 301 908 [i.8].
NOTE 2: The other parts of ETSI EN 301 908 [i.8], which are listed in the foreword of the present document,
specify technical requirements in respect of a particular type of IMT equipment.
NOTE 3: Recommendations ITU-R M.1457-15 [i.4], M.2012-4 [i.5] and M.2150.0 [i.10] define the characteristics
of the members of the IMT-2000 family and IMT-Advanced respectively by means of references to
technical specifications developed by Standards Development organizations. The present document
applies to equipment designed to meet any version of the terrestrial specifications referenced in
Recommendations ITU-R M.1457-15 [i.4] and M.2012-4 [i.5].
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

additional operational and/or control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another position
or location); and
• the equipment cannot be used on a stand-alone basis to provide user functions independently of a UE, BS or
combination of BS and repeater; and
• the UE, BS or combination of BS and repeater to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended
operation, such as transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment (i.e. it is not a sub-unit of the
main equipment essential to the main equipment basic functions).
