Overview

SIST EN 300 224-2:2002 is a harmonized European Standard addressing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum matters for on-site paging services. This standard has been specifically developed under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC), ensuring that radio equipment is designed to optimally use the allocated spectrum and prevent harmful interference. Covering a range of on-site paging equipment operating within 25 MHz to 470 MHz and loop systems below 146 kHz, the standard applies to base stations, transcoders, and pocket pagers (receivers, transceivers, or transmitters).

The standard plays a critical role in securing regulatory compliance, facilitating market access within the European Union, and safeguarding the efficient use of radio spectrum for on-site paging systems.

Key Topics

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Ensures equipment does not cause or suffer from unacceptable electromagnetic disturbances.
• Radio Spectrum Usage: Establishes requirements for on-site paging equipment to operate within designated frequency ranges without causing interference.
• Transmitter and Receiver Requirements: Addresses frequency accuracy, carrier power, adjacent channel power, spurious emissions, and transient behavior for transmitters and receivers.
• Test and Compliance Procedures: Specifies environmental testing conditions, measurement uncertainties, and essential test suites for conformity assessment.
• Harmonization with EU Law: Aligns equipment requirements with the essential provisions of the R&TTE Directive, making compliance a prerequisite for CE marking in Europe.

Applications

SIST EN 300 224-2:2002 is essential for manufacturers, integrators, and regulatory bodies involved with on-site paging services. Its practical applications include:

• Product Certification and CE Marking: Supports conformity evaluation, enabling products to be marketed in the European Economic Area.
• Design & Development: Guides engineers in designing equipment that meets frequency accuracy, power output, and EMC requirements.
• Testing Laboratories: Outlines essential test scenarios, providing a benchmark for product validation.
• Facilities and Service Providers: Ensures paging installations in hospitals, factories, or campuses operate reliably and legally within regulated spectrum.

By following the requirements in this standard, manufacturers help maintain reliable communication in critical environments and minimize the risk of radio interference.

Types of Equipment Covered

• Base station transmitters (radio and loop) and transcoders
• Base station receivers
• Pocket pagers and mobile units (receivers, transmitters, transceivers)

Equipment may feature internal or external 50 Ω antenna connectors and devices are subject to strict spurious emissions and power output limits to protect both users and surrounding communications infrastructure.

Related Standards

• EN 300 224-1 - Technical and functional characteristics for on-site paging systems, including test methods.
• ETSI ETS 300 224 - Specifies detailed technical and operational criteria for on-site paging.
• Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) - Sets out essential requirements for radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment.
• Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive) - Lays out requirements for electromagnetic compatibility across the EU.
• Council Directive 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage Directive) - Governs electrical equipment safety within defined voltage limits.
• ETSI ETR 028 - Sets guidance on measurement uncertainty for radio equipment testing.

For those seeking to implement, certify, or test on-site paging equipment, SIST EN 300 224-2:2002 is a key reference for technical compliance, radio spectrum management, and market access within the EU and EEA.

Keywords: electromagnetic compatibility, radio spectrum, paging systems, on-site paging, R&TTE Directive, compliance testing, spurious emissions, radio equipment, SIST EN 300 224-2, harmonized standard, European standard, EMC, telecommunications.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different subclauses of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of this standard
essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements are adopted,
and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be specified
by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows the new single multi-part product EMC standard for radio, and the existing

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different subclauses of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of this standard
essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements are adopted,
and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be specified
by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows the new single multi-part product EMC standard for radio, and the existing
collection of generic and product standards currently used under the EMC Directive [2]. The parts of this new standard
will become available in the second half of 2000, and the existing separate product EMC standards will be used until it
is available.
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
