Overview
SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 is a harmonized European standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), focusing on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum matters (ERM) for radiotelephone transmitters and receivers used in maritime mobile services within the Very High Frequency (VHF) bands. This standard specifically addresses the essential requirements outlined in Article 3.2 of the European R&TTE Directive (Directive 1999/5/EC), ensuring that VHF radio equipment operating between 156.0 MHz and 174.0 MHz is constructed and tested to use the radio spectrum efficiently and avoid harmful interference.
This standard is part of a modular framework for radio and telecommunications equipment, complementing related technical standards and supporting European conformity assessment procedures.
Key Topics
SIST EN 300 162-2:2001 covers critical aspects for ensuring electromagnetic compatibility and proper use of radio spectrum, including:
Scope:
- Applies to shipborne VHF transmitters and receivers, both voice and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) enabled.
- Focuses on equipment using emission types G3E (FM voice) and possibly G2B (DSC digital data).
Essential Requirements under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive:
- Efficient spectrum use: Equipment must utilize the allocated frequencies to avoid harmful interference.
- Technical conformance: Compliance with a set of defined technical parameters measured under operational environmental conditions.
Parameter Specifications:
- Frequency error and stability
- Carrier power output
- Frequency deviation
- Adjacent channel power
- Spurious emissions (both conducted and radiated)
- Transient frequency behavior
- Receiver sensitivity, selectivity, and rejection to interference
Testing and Measurement:
- Outlines standardized test suites and measurement uncertainty requirements.
- Defines test conditions for various environmental and operational factors.
Applications
This harmonized standard is crucial for manufacturers, certification bodies, and maritime operators to demonstrate compliance with European regulatory requirements for VHF maritime radio equipment. Key practical applications include:
- Equipment Design: Guiding manufacturers in designing VHF maritime radiotelephones and receivers that meet EMC and radio spectrum efficiency standards.
- Product Testing and Certification: Providing a basis for conformity assessment, allowing products to bear the CE mark for legal placement on the EU market.
- Maritime Safety: Supporting critical ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication essential for safety at sea, as part of the global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS).
- Fleet Operators: Ensuring all communication devices on board are compliant, reducing risk of interference and regulatory penalties.
