SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 152-2 V1.1.1 for maritime Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs). It is a harmonized European standard under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, focused on spectrum use and the tests used to show conformity for EPIRBs on 121.5 MHz, or 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz, for homing purposes only.

What does SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 specify?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 specifies the radio spectrum requirements and conformity tests for maritime EPIRBs in the scope of the R&TTE Directive article 3.2. In practice, it tells manufacturers, suppliers and test labs what must be checked to show that these beacons use the allocated spectrum without harmful interference.

The document is organized into:

• Scope
• References
• Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
• Technical requirement specifications
• Testing for compliance with technical requirements
• Annex A, the EN Requirements Table

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 152-2:2001?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 uses a small set of conformance requirements, all tied to the companion measurement standard EN 300 152-1. The practical focus is on transmitter accuracy, unwanted emissions and the emissions created by the test arrangement itself.

Environmental and operating conditions

The standard applies under the environmental profile for the equipment, determined by its environmental class. EPIRBs must comply with the technical requirements whenever they operate within the limits of the required operational environment. For a reader, this means the product has to meet the radio requirements in the conditions it is intended to face in service.

Frequency error

Clause 4.2.1 requires the transmitter frequency error to be defined and limited as in EN 300 152-1, and clause 5.3.1 requires the corresponding test. This matters because the beacon has to transmit close enough to the intended frequency for homing use and spectrum compatibility.

Spurious emissions

Clause 4.2.2 sets the definition, limit and test for spurious emissions by reference to EN 300 152-1. In practice, this checks that the EPIRB does not radiate unwanted signals that could interfere with other radio services.

Radiation produced by the test facility

Clause 4.2.3 requires the test facility used to indicate correct EPIRB operation to stay below the stated ERP limit from EN 300 152-1, and clause 5.3.3 gives the test. This matters because the test setup itself must not mask or create interference issues.

Test conditions and measurement uncertainty

Clause 5.1 uses the test conditions, power supply and ambient temperatures from EN 300 152-1. Clause 5.2 requires the test report to include measurement uncertainty and states that the recorded uncertainty must be within the listed maximum values. For users of the standard, this means the test report must show not only results, but also how reliable those results are.

Essential radio test suites and EN-RT

Clause 5.3 links each required test to the matching method in EN 300 152-1. Annex A then lists the EN requirements in tabular form and marks them as mandatory. That makes the document suitable for conformity assessment and for checking whether all required radio tests have been completed.

What terms does SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 define?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 defines a few key terms that frame how the requirements apply:

• Environmental profile - the range of environmental conditions under which the equipment must comply.
• Supplier - the entity responsible for placing the equipment on the market under the R&TTE Directive.
• EPIRB station - a station in the mobile service whose emissions support search and rescue operations.
• Homing device - a 121.5 MHz/243 MHz beacon intended mainly to transmit homing signals.
• EPIRB - Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon.
• R&TTE - Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment.
• RF - Radio Frequency.

Who uses SIST EN 300 152-2:2001?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 is used by EPIRB manufacturers, suppliers, test laboratories and conformity assessment teams. It is especially relevant for anyone responsible for radio design, pre-compliance testing, product verification and technical documentation for maritime emergency beacons.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 152-2:2001?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 relies on EN 300 152-1 for the underlying technical characteristics, measurement methods, limit values and test procedures. ETR 028 provides the method for handling measurement uncertainty. Directive 1999/5/EC gives the R&TTE framework for the harmonized standard, while the referenced EMC, LV and notification directives provide the regulatory context named in the document.

What does the SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 document contain?

SIST EN 300 152-2:2001 contains the scope statement, the reference list, defined terms, the technical requirements, and the test methods used to demonstrate compliance. It also includes an uncertainty table for RF frequency and radiated emissions, so test reports can be interpreted consistently.

The introduction explains the modular structure used for R&TTE standards and places this part within a multi-part EPIRB series. Annex A provides the EN Requirements Table, which is the compact checklist used to summarize the mandatory requirements for conformity assessment.
