Overview

SIST EN 302 885-3 V1.2.1:2014 is a harmonized European standard that specifies the essential requirements for portable Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephone equipment with integrated handheld class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC). The standard ensures that such equipment, used for maritime mobile services in the VHF bands, complies with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum regulations, particularly those under article 3.3(e) of the R&TTE Directive (Directive 1999/5/EC). This article focuses on features that enable access to emergency services. The document details the minimum technical characteristics, measurement methods, and required test results to confirm compliance.

Key Topics

• Minimum Technical Requirements: Establishes essential radio performance, EMC, and operational characteristics for maritime VHF handheld radios with class D DSC.
• Scope of Application: Applies to portable VHF maritime radiotelephones operating on 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz channels, ensuring their suitability for emergency use at sea.
• Measurement and Testing Methods: Defines standardized measurement procedures and conformance test suites for verifying equipment performance against required specifications.
• Emergency Access Features: Requires equipment to possess and support features for accessing maritime emergency services, in alignment with EU regulatory mandates.
• Environmental and Operational Testing: Includes criteria for drop tests, operational temperature ranges (dry, damp, low temperature), and functional assessments under varying maritime conditions.
• Conformance Procedures: Outlines procedures for verifying modulator sensitivity, audio frequency response, distortion levels, receiver performance, squelch operation, and DSC signaling functionalities.

Applications

SIST EN 302 885-3 V1.2.1:2014 is crucial for manufacturers, integrators, and users of maritime communication technologies, especially:

• Maritime Safety: The standard underpins the deployment of portable VHF maritime radios with built-in digital selective calling for distress and safety communication, essential for commercial shipping, yachting, and other maritime operations.
• Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrates presumption of conformity to EU R&TTE Directive (now superseded by the RED), streamlining product authorization and market access throughout the European Economic Area.
• Resilience at Sea: Assures that handheld VHF radios maintain performance and reliability in harsh marine environments, including saltwater exposure, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.
• Search and Rescue Operations: Ensures rapid and clear communication for distress calls, coordination with emergency services, and effective response in emergencies via standardized DSC protocols.

Related Standards

Several related European Norms and ETSI standards provide complementary requirements, guidance, and test methods for maritime VHF radiotelephone equipment:

• EN 302 885-1: Technical characteristics and measurement methods for VHF radiotelephones with integrated DSC.
• EN 302 885-2: Essential requirements under article 3.2, focusing on effective use of spectrum.
• EN 300 338-5: Specific requirements for handheld VHF class D DSC equipment.
• ETSI TR 100 028-1: Addresses uncertainties in measurement of mobile radio equipment characteristics.
• R&TTE Directive (Directive 1999/5/EC): The primary legislative framework for radio and telecommunications terminal equipment in Europe.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.1]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4].
ETSI

1 Scope
The present document states the minimum technical characteristics and methods of measurement required for portable
Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephones with integrated handheld class D DSC operating in certain frequency
bands allocated to the maritime mobile service using either 25 kHz channels or 25 kHz and 12,5 kHz channels.
The present document also specifies technical characteristics, methods of measurement and required test results.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive)
article 3.3(e), which states that radio equipment within the scope of the present document "…shall be so constructed
that:…. (e) it supports certain features ensuring access to emergency services;….".
In addition to the present document, other European Norms (ENs) that specify technical requirements in respect of
essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.1] will apply to equipment within the
scope of the present document.
NOTE: A list of such European Norms is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.1]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4].

1 Scope
The present document states the minimum technical characteristics and methods of measurement required for portable
Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephones with integrated handheld class D DSC operating in certain frequency
bands allocated to the maritime mobile service using either 25 kHz channels or 25 kHz and 12,5 kHz channels.
The present document also specifies technical characteristics, methods of measurement and required test results.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive)
article 3.3(e), which states that radio equipment within the scope of the present document "…shall be so constructed
that:…. (e) it supports certain features ensuring access to emergency services;….".
In addition to the present document, other European Norms (ENs) that specify technical requirements in respect of
essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.1] will apply to equipment within the
scope of the present document.
NOTE: A list of such European Norms is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.1]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4].
ETSI

1 Scope
The present document states the minimum technical characteristics and methods of measurement required for portable
Very High Frequency (VHF) radiotelephones with integrated handheld class D DSC operating in certain frequency
bands allocated to the maritime mobile service using either 25 kHz channels or 25 kHz and 12,5 kHz channels.
The present document also specifies technical characteristics, methods of measurement and required test results.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive)
article 3.3(e), which states that radio equipment within the scope of the present document "…shall be so constructed
that:…. (e) it supports certain features ensuring access to emergency services;….".
In addition to the present document, other European Norms (ENs) that specify technical requirements in respect of
essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.1] will apply to equipment within the
scope of the present document.
NOTE: A list of such European Norms is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
