Overview
SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 is a Slovenian standard aligned with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard ETS 300 390 and its Amendment 1. This standard details the technical characteristics and test conditions for radio equipment used in the land mobile service, specifically for devices intended to transmit data (and speech) using an integral antenna. The document, together with ETS 300 279, aims to provide the basis for a harmonized standard referenced in the Official Journal of the European Communities in alignment with the EMC Directive (Council Directive 89/336/EEC).
Focused on supporting Europe-wide regulations, this standard facilitates the free movement and compatibility of radio equipment for land mobile services across CEPT member countries, supporting both data and mixed voice-data applications in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1000 MHz with various channel spacings.
Key Topics
- Technical Specifications: Defines transmitter and receiver parameters, including radiated spurious emissions, blocking, sensitivity, and channel selectivity.
- Test Conditions: Establishes methods for measuring compliance, ensuring that radio equipment meets essential EMC requirements and harmonized performance benchmarks.
- Channel Spacing Options: Accommodates 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, and 25 kHz channel separations, allowing for national variations while promoting interoperability.
- Harmonization and Compliance:
- Supports harmonized standards across Europe for land mobile radio services.
- References parameters relevant to the EMC Directive, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.
- Provides guidelines for member states to withdraw conflicting national standards.
- Approval Processes: Details inclusion within national type approval regulations and lists critical parameters for approval such as frequency error, radiated power, adjacent channel power, and spurious response rejection.
Applications
SIST ETS 300 390:1998/A1:1998 applies to a broad spectrum of land mobile radio equipment, such as:
- Professional Mobile Radio (PMR): Used by emergency services, public safety, utilities, and transport fleets for reliable two-way voice and data communication.
- Data Transmission for Mobile Networks: Facilitates telemetry, remote monitoring, and data collection in logistics, transportation, and industrial sectors.
- Mixed-Mode Communication Devices: Supports equipment that transmits both voice and data, ensuring interoperability for systems with combined needs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Enables manufacturers and operators to achieve pan-European type approval, aiding faster market entry and cross-border usability.
This standard ensures that compliant radio equipment operates within agreed spectral, emission, and interference limits, benefiting manufacturers, authorities, and users by:
- Simplifying product approvals across European markets.
- Improving radio spectrum efficiency and reducing harmful interference.
- Harmonizing technical criteria, supporting the development and deployment of modern communication systems for critical and commercial applications.
Related Standards
- ETS 300 279: Provides complementary requirements and should be used together with ETS 300 390 for full harmonization under the EMC Directive.
- ETS 300 113: Covers similar requirements for land mobile radio equipment with an external antenna connector.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 25-08: Offers recommended frequency arrangements for mobile radio systems.
- ERT/ERC/DEC/(96)14: ERC Decision for adopting ETS 300 390 as the basis for approval regulations in CEPT administrations.
- EN 301 489 Series: Relevant EMC standards covering radio equipment of all types.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
The free movement of radiocommunications goods and the provision of Europe-wide services for
radiocommunications are only achievable if there exist common regulations throughout Europe regarding availability
of frequency bands, approval requirements and border crossing procedures. A basic requirement to fulfil these
objectives is the Europe-wide implementation of national regulations based on the European Telecommunications
Standards (ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)14) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 390 and
withdraw any conflicting national standard.
2. BACKGROUND
Both the ERC and ETSI are involved in the development of common regulations, as described in (1) above. The
Memorandum of Understanding between ERC and ETSI explains the respective responsibilities of the two
organisations and its annex describes the principles of co-operation. The ERC, for its part, should, inter alia, adopt
Decisions on the introduction of ETSI standards into approval regimes.
ETS 300 390 has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of ETSI. The
standard has undergone the ETSI standards approval procedure and is now published as an ETS.
The ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specific applications.
The use of the frequency range (30-1000 MHz) covered by ETS 300 390 is not harmonised within CEPT. Although
