Foreword
This Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) has been produced by the Radio Equipment
and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI).
This I-ETS defines the minimum technical characteristics required for portable VHF radio telephones
operating in survival craft, and optionally on board ships at sea, in certain frequency bands allocated to the
Maritime Mobile Service (MMS). It also incorporates the requirements detailed in the Radio Regulations,
SOLAS 1974 (as amended in 1988) [3] and the relevant recommendations of the International Maritime
Organization.
Every I-ETS prepared by ETSI is a voluntary standard. This I-ETS contains text concerning type approval
of the equipment to which it relates. This text does not make this I-ETS mandatory in its status as a
standard. However, this I-ETS can be referenced, wholly or in part, for mandatory application by decisions
of regulatory bodies.

1 Scope
This I-ETS states the minimum technical characteristics required for portable VHF radiotelephones
operating in the bands between 156 and 174 MHz allocated to the Maritime Mobile Services by the ITU
Radio Regulations (see Radio Regulations, Appendices 18 [1] and 19 [2]) and suitable for use in survival
craft and, optionally, on board ships at sea. The requirements detailed in the Radio Regulations, in
SOLAS 1974 [3], as amended 1988, and the International Maritime Organisation Resolutions A.694(17)
[5] and A.762(18) [4] are incorporated in this I-ETS.
2 Normative references
This I-ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent references to or revisions of any of these publication apply to
this I-ETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest
edition of the publication referred to applies.

Frequencies in the Band 156 - 174 MHz for Stations in the Maritime Mobile
Service".
