Overview

SIST EN 300 220-3-1 V2.1.1:2017 is a harmonised European standard that details essential requirements for short range devices (SRD) and, more specifically, for social alarm equipment operating on designated frequencies (869.200 MHz to 869.250 MHz). Developed in support of Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive), this standard is crucial for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of social alarm systems and other low duty cycle, high reliability equipment in confined or residential settings. By outlining technical and operational requirements, the standard aims to ensure the effective use of the radio spectrum, minimising harmful interference, and supporting reliable distress communication for vulnerable users such as the elderly and disabled.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose: Focused on social alarm devices in the 869.200 MHz to 869.250 MHz band, as specified in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU. These devices are designed to provide reliable communication for persons in distress within confined areas, such as homes or care facilities.
• Radio Spectrum Use: Emphasises efficient spectrum use to avoid interference. Only social alarm systems authorised in this band, ensuring exclusivity and reliability.
• Essential Requirements Compliance: Designed to satisfy Article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU, ensuring radio equipment does not cause harmful interference and uses spectrum efficiently.
• Technical Requirements: Covers operating frequency, maximum radiated power, channel width, duty cycle limits (max 0.1% duty cycle per hour), transmitter/receiver specifications, spurious emissions, and bi-directional/unidirectional communication performance.
• Conformance Testing: Specifies methods for ensuring compliance, including environmental conditions, transmitter and receiver behaviour, adjacent channel power, and blocking resistance.

Applications

SIST EN 300 220-3-1 V2.1.1:2017 is directly relevant for:

• Social Alarm Systems: Devices enabling emergency calls for assistance, especially for the elderly, disabled or those in healthcare settings. Typical products include wearable panic buttons, home alarm transmitters, and wireless call systems.
• Assisted Living and Telecare: Facilitates timely response in emergencies, increasing the independence and safety of users in domestic or residential care environments.
• Alarm and Warning Systems: Applicable to any radio-based alert systems requiring high reliability and low probability of interference in the designated sub-band.
• Product Certification: Supports manufacturers in achieving CE marking and market access in the EU by demonstrating compliance with the Radio Equipment Directive.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio equipment within the scope of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.2].
The equipment to which the present document applies fall within the low duty cycle high reliability devices category.
NOTE 1: The low duty cycle/high reliability devices category is defined in Commission Decision
2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Category of short-range devices" means a group of short- range devices that use spectrum with similar
technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios.
and
The low duty cycle/high reliability device category covers radio devices that rely on low overall spectrum
utilisation and low duty cycle spectrum access rules to ensure highly reliable spectrum access and
transmissions in shared bands. Typical uses include alarm systems that use radio communication for
indicating an alert condition at a distant location and social alarms systems that allow reliable
communication for a person in distress.
It is recognized that the radio communications link alone does not determine the overall operation of a system, but that a
functioning radio communications link is an essential foundation upon which a system may be built.
The present document sets out various means and features by which the performance of a radio communications link
may be improved. These include:
1) Spectrum Access Rules - with the aim of reducing the probability of collisions between transmissions from
different equipment.
2) Receiver Parameters - with the aim of reducing the probability of interference from equipment on other
frequencies.
3) Bi-Directional Communications - with the aim of reducing the time and number of transmissions required to
achieve a given level of confidence in successful communication.
Application of these features, separately or in combination, does not necessarily ensure successful radio
communication. In addition, there are other features that may be considered, such as listen before talk or error
correction, that may improve overall performance.
Clauses 1 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 specifies technical requirements to be met by all equipment.
Clause 5 specifies technical requirements for receivers in equipment with uni-directional communications.
Clause 6 specifies technical requirements for equipment with bi-directional communications.
Clause 7 specifies the methods for testing for compliance with the technical requirements.
Annex A summarizes the requirements relevant to the RE-Directive [i.2].

1 Scope
The present document applies to social alarm devices operating on designated frequencies.
Designated frequencies are those frequency bands identified in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as having a
usage available only to social alarms.
Social alarms are defined in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Social alarm devices" are radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in
a confined area to initiate a call for assistance. Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating, for transmission or reception, in all or part of the frequency
bands given in table 1.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio equipment within the scope of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.2].
The equipment to which the present document applies fall within the low duty cycle high reliability devices category.
NOTE 1: The low duty cycle/high reliability devices category is defined in Commission Decision
2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Category of short-range devices" means a group of short- range devices that use spectrum with similar
technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios.
and
The low duty cycle/high reliability device category covers radio devices that rely on low overall spectrum
utilisation and low duty cycle spectrum access rules to ensure highly reliable spectrum access and
transmissions in shared bands. Typical uses include alarm systems that use radio communication for
indicating an alert condition at a distant location and social alarms systems that allow reliable
communication for a person in distress.
It is recognized that the radio communications link alone does not determine the overall operation of a system, but that a
functioning radio communications link is an essential foundation upon which a system may be built.
The present document sets out various means and features by which the performance of a radio communications link
may be improved. These include:
1) Spectrum Access Rules - with the aim of reducing the probability of collisions between transmissions from
different equipment.
2) Receiver Parameters - with the aim of reducing the probability of interference from equipment on other
frequencies.
3) Bi-Directional Communications - with the aim of reducing the time and number of transmissions required to
achieve a given level of confidence in successful communication.
Application of these features, separately or in combination, does not necessarily ensure successful radio
communication. In addition, there are other features that may be considered, such as listen before talk or error
correction, that may improve overall performance.
Clauses 1 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by the present document and the
definitions and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 specifies technical requirements to be met by all equipment.
Clause 5 specifies technical requirements for receivers in equipment with uni-directional communications.
Clause 6 specifies technical requirements for equipment with bi-directional communications.
Clause 7 specifies the methods for testing for compliance with the technical requirements.
Annex A summarizes the requirements relevant to the RE-Directive [i.2].

1 Scope
The present document applies to social alarm devices operating on designated frequencies.
Designated frequencies are those frequency bands identified in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as having a
usage available only to social alarms.
Social alarms are defined in Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.3] as:
"Social alarm devices" are radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in
a confined area to initiate a call for assistance. Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating, for transmission or reception, in all or part of the frequency
bands given in table 1.
