SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 is a SIST publication identical to EN 300 019-2-7 Version 2.1.2 from ETSI. It specifies environmental test methods and severities for telecommunications equipment in portable and non-stationary use, so designers, test labs and quality teams can verify resistibility against the relevant environmental class.

What does SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 specify?

SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 specifies how to test telecommunications equipment for portable and non-stationary use against the environmental conditions defined for that class. The document is organized around one scope clause, one references clause, one main clause with test specifications, and a clause of notes to the tables.

Clause / annex	What it covers
Clause 1	Scope and application to portable and non-stationary use
Clause 2	Referenced documents used by the standard
Clause 3	Environmental test specifications for the different use environments
Clause 4	Notes that explain the table severities and why some effects are not tested
Annex A	Informative bibliography

Clause 3 is split into four use specifications: T 7.1, T 7.2, T 7.3 and T 7.3E. In practice, that lets a reader match the test plan to the real installation and transfer conditions of the equipment.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006?

Operating assumptions

SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 assumes the equipment under test is operational during the exposure unless the product specification says otherwise. The product specification also has to define what performance is checked before, during and after the tests, and what counts as pass or fail.

That matters because the standard is not just about surviving a climate chamber or vibration table. It also requires you to decide how the equipment is powered, loaded and monitored so the test reflects real use.

The document also says input and load conditions shall be chosen to obtain full utilization of the equipment, with heat dissipation maximized except in steady-state low-temperature testing, where it is minimized. In practice, this affects how severe the test really is.

Environmental use classes

Clause 3 defines four environmental cases for portable equipment: temperature-controlled locations, partly temperature-controlled locations, partly weatherprotected and non-weatherprotected locations, and an extended version of the last case. The higher the exposure, the broader the set of climatic and mechanical tests that apply.

This classification matters because the test severity depends on where the equipment is used and moved between. A product intended for sheltered indoor use is not tested the same way as one carried between outdoor and partly sheltered locations.

Climatic and water-related tests

Tables 1 to 4 cover cold, dry heat, temperature change, damp heat, condensation, humidity, rain or dripping water, solar radiation, chemically active substances, dust, sand, flora and fauna. The notes explain when a test is recommended, when a listed effect is handled by another test, and when the effect is mainly a design and material-selection issue.

For example, the notes say some parameters have no test recommendation in this part, including air pressure, chemically active substances and mechanically active substances. In practice, you use those notes to decide whether a formal test is needed or whether the risk is controlled by design.

Mechanical tests

Tables 5 and 6 define mechanical tests for the portable classes, including vibration, shocks, bump, free fall, and drop and topple. The standard prefers random vibration over sinusoidal vibration for this use case, and it gives separate severities for two portable equipment classes.

This is important because portable equipment is exposed to transport, handling and accidental impact. The test choice tells you whether the product is being checked for sustained vibration, repeated shocks, or damage from being dropped.

Practical interpretation notes

Clause 4 gives the rationale behind the tables. It explains, for example, that some tests use IEC 60068-2 methods, that rain is represented by a practical hand-held shower-type method, and that free fall and drop-topple testing are both used because the exact falling attitude cannot be guaranteed.

For a reader, that means the document is not only a list of severities. It also tells you how to interpret them and what to document in the test programme.

What terms does SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 define?

• Environmental class - A standardized set of environmental conditions used to choose the right test severities.
• Resistibility - The ability of telecommunications equipment to withstand the stated environmental stresses while maintaining required performance.
• Portable and non-stationary use - Use of equipment that is carried, moved, or transferred between locations rather than fixed in one place.
• Temperature-controlled location - An enclosed location where temperature is permanently controlled, while humidity is usually not controlled.
• Partly temperature-controlled location - An enclosed location with no temperature or humidity control, but where heating may be used to avoid low temperatures.
• Partly weatherprotected and non-weatherprotected locations - Locations with limited or no shelter from weather, including transfer between such locations.
• Acceleration Spectral Density (ASD) - The vibration measure used for the random vibration test in Tables 5 and 6.

Who uses SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006?

This standard is used by telecommunications equipment designers, environmental test laboratories, and quality or compliance teams. Manufacturers use it to set qualification tests for portable equipment, while buyers and technical procurement teams use it to define environmental expectations for supplied products.

It is also relevant to reliability engineers and test planners who need to match a product specification to a real use environment. The standard helps them decide which climatic and mechanical stresses should be included in verification.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006?

• ETSI ETS 300 019-1-7 - Gives the environmental condition classification for portable and non-stationary use that this part tests against.
• IEC 60068-2 - Supplies the test methods used for cold, dry heat, temperature change, damp heat, rain, vibration, shock, bump and drop testing.
• ETSI ETS 300 019-2-0 - Provides the general overview of Part 2 of the multi-part standard.
• IEC 60721-2-7 - Is cited in the notes on fall severities for portable equipment.

What does the SIST EN 300 019-2-7 V2.1.2.2006 document contain?

The document contains four environmental test specification tables for the portable use classes and two tables for mechanical tests. It also includes notes that explain why some tests are recommended, why some are not, and how to interpret the severities.

Clause 3 ties each test to an IEC 60068-2 method and to a use condition such as temperature-controlled indoor use or non-weatherprotected use. Clause 4 adds practical guidance for test planning, especially for operating state, direction of testing, and when to treat a condition as a design issue rather than a test item.

Annex A is an informative bibliography.
