Introduction
The purpose of testing is to ascertain whether the equipment will perform satisfactorily in its
electromagnetic environment. Hence, testing requirements need to relate to actual electromagnetic
environmental conditions. The statistical nature of the environment as well as the equipment's response to
stress needs to be taken into account.
This is done by introducing the concepts of "environmental classes", "priorities of service", and graded
"compliance criteria" described in more detail below.
Part 1 of this ETS specifies all parameters that are not specific to a particular equipment. These are:
- general operating conditions;
- test levels for immunity (tables 2, 3, 4 and 5) and associated general compliance criteria. Test
levels are specified according to environmental class and according to priority of service;
- emission limits related to an environmental class.
Dedicated product-specific EMC requirements are being developed in the planned part 2 of this ETS
(i.e. parts 2-1 to 2-5).
Environmental classes
The electromagnetic environment varies from time to time and from place to place in a very complicated
manner. The concept of environmental classes introduced by the IEC, (IEC Publication No. 721 [2]) and
also implemented by ETSI, (ETS 300 019 [11]) for climatic and mechanical environments takes these
aspects into account.
An environmental class is an envelope of the environments encountered in a group of locations with
similar properties. This ETS defines environmental classes for public telecommunication equipment:
- telecommunication centres, classes 1 and 2;
- locations other than telecommunication centres, classes 3 and 4.
The characteristics of the environmental classes are given in annex B.
Determination of limits
Immunity limits have been set considering that:
- the purpose of testing is to reveal potential failure mechanisms by means of well-defined exposures
under controlled laboratory conditions;
- the test does not attempt to reproduce the exposures experienced in practice, but to reproduce the
effects of real life exposure;
- the test needs to be conclusive even though it is normally based on only a few samples;
- there is a finite probability that equipment in practice will experience more severe stresses than
those considered as being characteristic of the environmental class; it would mean over
specification if 100 % performance was required in all cases;
- a safety margin between full performance and loss of function can be established.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 386-1:1999
Page 7
ETS 300 386-1: December 1994
A graded test is introduced which operates with three levels of performance. In order of increasing
exposure, these levels are designated:
- normal performance (within specified limits);
- reduced performance;
- loss of function.
Each level of performance corresponds to a certain accepted degradation, i.e. an immunity threshold.
The compliance criteria are precisely defined in each individual equipment specification (being developed
in part 2 of this ETS).
Finally, considering that all kinds of equipment are not equally important, it is recommended that the
equipment is rated and tested according to the priority of the service performed, i.e. according to its main
purpose.
The priority of service may be assessed by evaluating the consequences of:
- loss of service;
- loss of equipment;
- loss of revenue;
- loss of reputation.
Two equipment categories and associated EMC requirements are introduced which, in order of increasing
requirements, are designated:
- normal priority of service (see tables 2 and 4);
- high priority of service (see tables 3 and 5).
Which requirements apply to a specific piece of equipment are defined in part 2 of this ETS (under
development).
Emission limits are set considering that:
- emissions should not disturb the normal performance of co-located electronic equipment for
communications or other purposes;
- emissions shall not interfere with the licensed use of the radio spectrum.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purpose of this ETS, the definitions in IEC Publication No. 50 (161) [20] apply. In addition, the
following definitions apply:
priority of service: Measures on a relative scale how important it is that the equipment operates as
specified.
Two levels of priority are standardized: They are designated as normal and high.
Normal priority of service should be assumed unless special circumstances are indicated.
The priority is normal if the equipment has moderate failure consequences. An equipment has
moderate failure consequences when:
- a failure causes limited inconvenience;
- repairs may be made without compromising the responsibilities of the network operator.
The priority is high if the equipment has severe failure consequences. An equipment has severe failure
consequences when:
- failure compromizes the function of vital, centralized systems, or services of commercially sensitive
or security related nature;
- repair or restoration costs are high, or the time the equipment is out of service is unacceptably long;
- corruption of charging or billing information occurs.
The following definitions apply only in the context of this ETS, except where the reference to the IEC
Publication No. 50 (161) [20] is given adjacent to the subclause title, in parentheses:
Audio (low) Frequency (AF): The frequency interval from 0 Hz to 20 kHz. It may sometimes be
convenient to extend the use of this term to include the range of frequencies up to 150 kHz.
burst (161-02-07): A sequence of a limited number of distinct pulses or an oscillation of limited duration.
characteristic severity: The characteristic severity for a certain detail parameter in an environmental
class states a severity which has only a low probability (generally less than 1 %) of being exceeded. The
term relates to duration, rate of occurrence or location. It applies to requirements on the environment and
to immunity requirements.
continuous disturbance (161-02-11): Electromagnetic disturbance the effects of which on a particular
device or equipment cannot be resolved into a succession of distinct effects.
Discontinuous interference (161-02-13): Electromagnetic interference occurring during certain time
intervals separated by interference-free intervals.
duration (of a voltage change) (161-08-03): Interval of time for the voltage to increase or decrease from
the initial value to the final value.
duration (of a pulse): The interval of time between the instants at which the instantaneous value of a
pulse reaches 50 % of the pulse magnitude for the first and last time.
environment, environmental conditions: The electromagnetic conditions external to the equipment, to
which it is subjected at a certain time. The environmental conditions comprise a combination of single
environmental parameters and their severities.
environmental class: A representation of the environment on locations with similar properties. They are
specified and standardized to provide an operational frame of reference for:

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 386-1:1999
Page 12
ETS 300 386-1: December 1994
- requirements on the environment;
- immunity requirements.
The class is described using an envelope of environmental conditions expressed in terms of a number of
environmental parameters and their characteristic severities or other characteristics. The environmental
parameters specified for the class are limited to those which may affect equipment performance.
environmental parameters: Present one or more properties of the electromagnetic environment.
immunity (to a disturbance) (161-01-20): The ability of a device, equipment or system to perform
without degradation in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance.
impulsive disturbance (161-02-09): Electromagnetic disturbance which, when incident on a particular
device or equipment, manifests itself as a succession of distinct pulses or transients.
pulse (161-02-02): An abrupt variation of short duration of a physical quantity followed by a rapid return to
the initial value.
Radio Frequencies (RF): The frequency range above 150 kHz.
rise time (of a pulse) (161-02-05): The interval of time between the instants at which the instantaneous
value of a pulse first reaches a specified lower value and then a specified upper value.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the lower and upper values are fixed at 10 % and 90 % of
the pulse magnitude.
shielding effectiveness: For a given external source, the ratio of electric or magnetic field strength at a
point before and after the placement of the shield in question.
surge (voltage) (161-08-11): A transient voltage wave propagating along a line or a circuit and
characterized by a rapid increase followed by a slower decrease of the voltage.
transient (adjective or noun) (161-02-01): Pertaining to or designating a phenomenon or a quantity
which varies between two consecutive steady states during a time interval which is short compared with
the timescale of interest.

4 General operational conditions
This clause gives the general operational conditions. The product-specific operating conditions will be
specified in part 2 of this ETS (under development).
The general operational conditions shall allow for appropriate measuring of the emission and for testing of
immunity.
The tests described shall be performed with the Equipment Under Test (EUT) powered up, (i.e. connected
to an appropriate power supply), and operating in a manner which is as representative of normal operation
as possible.
Details on the evaluation of test results are given in annex C.
4.1 Equipment configuration
Power and signal distribution, grounding, interconnecting cabling and physical placement of equipment of
a test system shall simulate the typical application and usage in so far as is practicable, and shall be in
accordance with the relevant product specifications of the manufacturer.
The configuration that tends to maximize the EUT's emission or minimize its immunity is not usually
intuitively obvious and in most instances selection will involve some trial and error testing. For example,
interface cables may be moved or equipment re-orientated during initial stages of testing and the effects
on the results observed.
Only configurations within the range of positions likely to occur in normal use need to be considered.
The configuration selected shall be fully detailed and documented in the test report, together with the
justification for selecting that particular configuration.
4.2 Exercising equipment
The exercising equipment and other auxiliary equipment shall be sufficiently decoupled from the EUT so
that the performance of such equipment does not significantly influence the test results.

standards EN 60801-2 [3], ENV 50140 [4], IEC 801-4 [5], ENV 50142 [6] and ENV 50141 [7].
The electromagnetic environment of the test laboratory shall not influence the results.
The laboratory environment shall not exceed the limits specified by the manufacturer for normal operation
of the EUT.
