Overview
SIST EN 302 245-2 V1.1.1:2005 is a harmonized European standard that addresses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum matters for transmitting equipment used in the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) broadcasting service. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in alignment with ETSI’s EN standards, this standard fits under article 3.2 of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive. It aims to ensure that DRM transmitters comply with the technical requirements necessary to avoid harmful interference and to effectively use the allocated radio spectrum.
By referencing existing technical specifications from ITU, EBU, and CEPT, SIST EN 302 245-2 provides a comprehensive framework for manufacturers and regulatory bodies to demonstrate conformity in the context of LF, MF, and HF terrestrial sound broadcasting bands. Adherence to this standard supports interoperability, regulatory acceptance in European markets, and broad compatibility within the sound broadcasting ecosystem.
Key Topics
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Ensures transmitting equipment limits its electromagnetic disturbances, minimizing the risk of interference to other electronic systems.
- Radio Spectrum Management: Defines limits for spurious and out-of-band emissions, promoting efficient and interference-free use of radio frequency spectrum.
- Transmitter Testing Methods: Specifies essential test procedures for measuring emissions from antenna and enclosure ports, including spurious emissions, out-of-band emissions, and cabinet radiation.
- R&TTE Directive Compliance: Implements the specific requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC, focusing on the effective use of spectrum and prevention of harmful interference.
- Environmental Profiles: Establishes the range of operational environmental conditions under which the transmitting equipment must maintain compliance.
- Modular Standards Structure: Aligns with a modular approach whereby different standards can be applied based on the specific functions, frequencies, or equipment types, minimizing the need for unique standards for each device combination.
Applications
DRM technology is increasingly used for digital sound broadcasting services, especially in the lower frequency bands (LF, MF, HF). SIST EN 302 245-2 is critical for the following applications:
- DRM Transmitter Manufacture and Certification: Manufacturers must ensure their products meet the outlined technical requirements and emission limits to achieve certification for the European market.
- Regulatory Compliance: Market access for transmitting equipment within the European Union (EU) depends on conformity with harmonized standards as referenced in the R&TTE Directive.
- Network Operators: Operators deploying DRM services rely on compliant equipment for reliable, legal, and interference-free broadcast operations.
- Test Laboratories: EMC and spectrum compliance testing is guided by the specified test procedures and measurement arrangements within this standard.
- Product Development and Procurement: Technical teams reference this standard during system design, assembly, and procurement of components, ensuring specifications are met for regulatory acceptance.
Related Standards
SIST EN 302 245-2 is part of a suite of standards and references several critical documents for a comprehensive conformity assessment:
- SIST EN 302 245-1: “Technical characteristics and test methods” for DRM transmitting equipment
- EN 301 489-11: EMC standard for terrestrial sound broadcasting service transmitters
- EN 55022: Limits and methods of measuring radio disturbance characteristics of information technology equipment
- EN 55011: Radio disturbance characteristics for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio-frequency equipment
- ETSI TR 100 028: Guidance on uncertainties in measurement of mobile radio equipment characteristics
Implementing SIST EN 302 245-2 in conjunction with these related standards ensures a robust, compliant, and market-ready DRM broadcasting solution.

Foreword
This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical
Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [1] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [2] of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering the Transmitting equipment for the Digital Radio
Mondiale (DRM) broadcasting service, as identified below:
Part 1: "Technical characteristics and test methods";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [2].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present
document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements
are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to
be specified by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the
EMC Directive [3].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [4] and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [2] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive [2] may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in an equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published;
• it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity
assessment.

1 Scope
The present document applies to Transmitting equipment for the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) broadcasting service.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• Transmitting equipment for the Digital Radio Mondiale broadcasting service operating in the harmonized LF,
MF and HF terrestrial sound broadcasting bands.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2, of Directive 1999/5/EC [2] (R&TTE Directive),
which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference."
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [2] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
