Overview

SIST EN 300 220-2 V1.2.1:2003 defines supplementary technical characteristics and test methods for short range radio devices operating in the 25 MHz to 1,000 MHz frequency range with power levels up to 500 mW. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) in alignment with ETSI, this European standard serves as a supplement to the main regulatory requirements covered in EN 300 220-1. It addresses additional performance and reliability aspects important for applications such as telecommand, telemetry, identification, alarm systems, and remote control devices. The standard is particularly relevant for non-speech, generic short range device (SRD) uses, including social alarm systems to ensure adequate operational reliability as demanded by CENELEC TC79 standardization efforts.

Key Topics

• Technical characteristics: Outlines receiver parameters and supplementary radio characteristics not required for regulatory testing, but important for product development and reliable operation.
• Frequency range and power: Applies to SRDs using radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 1,000 MHz and transmitting at up to 500 mW, with both integral and external antennas.
• Receiver performance: Covers maximum and average usable sensitivity, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel selectivity, spurious response rejection, intermodulation response rejection, and blocking or desensitization.
• Testing methods and measurement: Provides guidance for laboratory testing of receiver and transmitter attributes, referencing established standards such as ETS 300 113 and ETS 300 390.
• Social alarm system requirements: Annex A addresses application-specific parameters for social alarm systems to guarantee minimum effective radiated power and receiver performance in typical domestic environments.

Applications

The guidance offered by SIST EN 300 220-2 V1.2.1:2003 is widely applicable across sectors where short range radio devices are critical. Typical uses include:

• Alarm systems (e.g., social alarms, intrusion detection, fire safety signaling)
• Remote control units for industrial or consumer equipment
• Telemetry and telecommand systems for automated monitoring and control of devices
• Identification and detection systems, including asset tracking and personnel monitoring
• Generic non-speech SRD applications that rely on robust radio communications in residential, commercial, or industrial environments

This standard is particularly valuable where device reliability and performance, beyond mandatory regulatory compliance, are essential-such as in health and safety (e.g., social alarms), building automation, or industrial wireless control.

Related Standards

To ensure comprehensive compliance and optimal performance, SIST EN 300 220-2 V1.2.1:2003 should be used alongside related standards:

• EN 300 220-1: Regulatory requirements for spectrum utilization, forming the basis for short range device compliance in Europe
• ETS 300 113 & ETS 300 390: Technical characteristics and test conditions for radio equipment in land mobile service
• CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03: General guidelines for short range device frequency allocations and use in Europe
• EN 50134 series (CENELEC TC79): Specific standards for social alarm systems for vulnerable persons

By referencing these documents, manufacturers and system integrators can ensure their SRD products provide not only regulatory compliance but also the robust performance expected in mission-critical and everyday SRD applications.
