SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006

• Abstract:

  The purpose of this sub-part of this standard is to define the classes of environmental conditions and their severities to which equipment may be exposed when being transported. Only severe conditions, which may be harmful to the equipment, are included. The severities specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded; generally less than 1 %. This sub-part applies to equipment being transported from one place to another after being made ready for dispatch from the manufacturer's works. The most commonly used methods of transportation have been taken into account, i.e. ground, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary storage, have been included. Where the equipment is packaged the environmental conditions apply to the packaging protecting the equipment. NOTE: Normal transportation time is considered to be 30 days or less. Where the total transportation time exceeds 30 days then additional storage or packaging precautions must be considered.

SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 019-1-2 Edition 1 from ETSI. It classifies environmental conditions and severities for telecommunications equipment during transportation, including loading, unloading and temporary storage. Engineers, quality managers and buyers use it to choose transport classes and packaging conditions for equipment moving from the manufacturer to its destination.

What does SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006 specify?

SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006 specifies the transport environment classes for telecommunications equipment and the severe conditions that may affect it in transit. It focuses on conditions with a low probability of being exceeded, generally less than 1%.

The document is organized into Scope, Normative references, Definitions, Environmental classes, Environmental conditions, and a normative Annex A.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Summary of how classes 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 apply in different climates, including climate groupings

The scope covers equipment after it has been made ready for dispatch from the manufacturer's works. It takes account of ground, water and air transport, and it includes loading, unloading and temporary storage. Where equipment is packaged, the conditions apply to the packaging that protects it.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006?

Clause 4 defines three transport classes. The class you choose tells suppliers, packers and testers how severe the transport environment may be.

Transport classes

• Class 2.1, Very careful transportation - Clause 4.1 combines the relevant IEC classes for special care, especially low temperature and handling. It covers heated, pressurised aircraft holds, restricted open-air conditions, and only limited mechanical loading and unloading. In practice, this class suits shipments where the route is controlled and the handling risk is kept low.
• Class 2.2, Careful transportation - Clause 4.2 builds on Class 2.1 and adds all types of lorries and trailers on well-developed road systems, plus ship and train transport with shock-reducing buffers. Manual loading and unloading up to 20 kg is included. This matters when equipment is handled by people as well as machines.
• Class 2.3, Public transportation - Clause 4.3 covers transport with no special precautions and a more severe cold-temperature limit. It allows continuous or repeated solar radiation, precipitation, splashing water and rough handling, including transport in areas without well-developed road systems. This is the class to use when the route is uncontrolled or public transport is involved.

Clause 5 turns those classes into environmental severities. Tables 1 to 5 cover climatic, biological, chemically active, mechanically active and mechanical conditions. In practice, these tables are what designers and packagers use to check whether a product, a crate or a container can survive the route.

The climatic table covers temperature, humidity, pressure, air movement, rain, solar radiation, heat radiation, water and wetness. That means the equipment team must think about both ambient weather and exposure inside transport spaces such as enclosures or holds.

The biological, chemical and mechanically active substance tables address mould, rodents and other animals, salts, industrial gases, sand and dust. This is important where routes pass through coastal, polluted, dusty or biologically active areas.

The mechanical table covers vibration, shock, free fall, toppling, rolling, pitching, steady-state acceleration and static load. Figure 1 gives the shock response spectra used with the shock conditions. For shipping and packaging teams, this is the part that links the transport class to real mechanical abuse.

Annex A helps match the classes to statistical open-air climates. It groups climates into Restricted Open-air Climates, Moderate Open-air Climates, General Open-air Climates and World-wide Open-air Climates, so the user can judge where each class applies.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006 define?

• Weatherprotected - Equipment is inside an enclosure that gives some protection from the environment, ranging from a temperature-controlled container to a waterproof cover.
• Non-weatherprotected - Equipment is not protected from the environment by any enclosure or cover.
• Class 2.1 - The most careful transport class in this sub-part, used for special-care transport with limited exposure and handling.
• Class 2.2 - A careful transport class that extends Class 2.1 to broader road, ship and train situations.
• Class 2.3 - The public-transport class for transport without special precautions and with rough handling.
• Statistical open-air climates - Climate groupings used in Annex A to relate transport classes to typical regional climate conditions.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006?

Telecommunications equipment engineers use this standard when designing products and transport packaging. Quality managers use it to specify acceptance conditions for shipment and to align supplier requirements with the route.

Logistics teams and buyers use it when selecting carriers, storage conditions and packaging levels for ground, water and air transport. Test laboratories and environmental test planners use it to interpret which climatic and mechanical exposures matter for a given shipment route.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006?

The standard is part of the ETS 300 019 series. In the foreword, Part 1 is identified as Classification of environmental conditions, Part 2 as Specification of environmental tests, and Sub-part 1-0 as the general overview.

Its normative references are:

• ETR 035 - Guidance and terminology for environmental engineering.
• IEC Publication 721-3-2 - Transportation, which provides the base class combinations used here.
• IEC Publication 721-2-1 - Temperature and Humidity, used for climatic conditions and climate areas.
• IEC Publication 68-2-27 - Test Ea: Shock, used with the shock response spectrum in Figure 1.

What does the SIST ETS 300 019-1-2 E1:2006 document contain?

The document contains the transport scope, a short set of definitions, three environmental transport classes, and detailed environmental condition tables. It also includes a mechanical section with vibration, shock, fall, toppling and load conditions.

Annex A gives a climate-based summary for applying Classes 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Figure 1 provides the model shock response spectra used for the shock conditions in Clause 5. The tables and figure are the parts that support packaging design, route selection and transport-related testing.

Foreword
This multi-part European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Equipment
Engineering (EE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This standard is concerned with environmental conditions and environmental tests for telecommunications
equipment and comprises two main parts, each with subdivisions:
- ETS 300 019-1: "Classification of environmental conditions".
This part of the standard, Part 1, specifies different standardised environmental classes covering
climatic and biological conditions, chemically and mechanically active substances and mechanical
conditions during storage, transportation and in use.
- ETS 300 019-2: "Specification of environmental tests".
This part of the standard will specify the test requirements for the different environmental classes.
Each part of the standard is divided into sub-parts. Sub-part 1-0 will form a general overview of Part 1.
This sub-part, Sub-part 1-2, deals with transportation.
This part of the standard (Part 1) was submitted to Public Enquiry as prETS 300 019 Part B. The original
Part A is to be published as ETSI Technical Report ETR 035 entitled: "Equipment Engineering (EE);
Environmental engineering Guidance and terminology".
Annex A to this sub-part is normative.

1 Scope
The purpose of this sub-part of this standard is to define the classes of environmental conditions and their
severities to which equipment may be exposed when being transported. Only severe conditions, which may
be harmful to the equipment, are included. The severities specified are those which will have a low
probability of being exceeded; generally less than 1 %.
This sub-part applies to equipment being transported from one place to another after being made ready for
dispatch from the manufacturer's works. The most commonly used methods of transportation have been
taken into account, i.e. ground, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary
storage, have been included. Where the equipment is packaged the environmental conditions apply to the
packaging protecting the equipment.
NOTE: Normal transportation time is considered to be 30 days or less. Where the total
transportation time exceeds 30 days then additional storage or packaging precautions
must be considered.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. for
dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

3 Definitions
In this sub-part of this standard, the following definitions apply:
Weatherprotected: The equipment, packaged or unpackaged, is contained within an enclosure which
affords some protection from the environment, ranging from a temperature controlled container to a
waterproof cover placed over the equipment. Ventilation ranges from controlled air flow to the raising of
part of a waterproof cover to allow for natural air flow.
Non-weatherprotected: The equipment, packaged or unpackaged, is not protected in any way from the
environment.

4 Environmental classes
The classes shown in parentheses, e.g. (2M3) may be selected for special applications.
Three different environmental classes have been defined. Classes 2.1 and 2.2 are special classes relating
to low temperature and less severe mechanical conditions. Class 2.3 is the normal class for transportation
of equipment.
4.1 Class 2.1: Very careful transportation
This class is a combination of classes 2K3/2B2/2C2/2S2/2M1 (see Table 5 NOTE 8) in IEC
Publication 721-3-2 [2].
This class applies to transportation where special care has been taken e.g. with respect to low
temperature and handling.
The conditions covered include transportation in unventilated enclosures and in non-weatherprotected
conditions with restrictions on the general open-air climates, excluding cold and cold temperate climates.
transportation by air only covers equipment carried in heated, pressurised holds.
NOTE: A survey of applications in different climates is shown at Annex A. Climatic conditions
for different areas are defined in IEC Publication 721-2-1 [3].
This class applies to transportation:
- where the equipment may be moved between cold, non-weatherprotected and warm,
weatherprotected conditions. It may for short periods be exposed to direct solar radiation,
precipitation and splashing water. The equipment may be placed on a wet floor and inside an
enclosure which is subjected to sunshine and rain etc. Non-weatherprotected exposure does not
include exposure to sea waves. The equipment may be placed close to heating elements;
- in areas and conditions where mould growth, attacks by animals, except termites, may occur;
- which is non-weatherprotected (but including transport by sea where the equipment is protected
against sea waves) in areas with normal industrial activities excluding those where large quantities of
chemical pollutants are emitted;
- which is non-weatherprotected, as well as weatherprotected and where sweeping of dusty floors is
taken into account. Transportation in sand desert areas is not included;
- in aircraft, lorries and air-cushioned trucks and trailers in areas with well-developed road systems.
Only mechanical loading and unloading is included. No risk of dropping is taken into account. The
mechanical conditions given apply to equipment placed on the floor of the compartment in which it is
transported.
4.2 Class 2.2: Careful transportation
This class is a combination of classes 2K3/2B2/2C2/2S2/2M1 in IEC Publication 721-3-2 [2].
This class applies to transportation where special care has been taken e.g. with respect to low
temperature and handling.
Class 2.2 covers the conditions of class 2.1. In addition class 2.2 includes transportation in all types of
lorries and trailers in areas with well-developed road systems. It also includes transportation by ship and
by train with specially designed, shock-reducing buffers. Manual loading and unloading of up to 20 kg is
included.
4.3 Class 2.3: Public transportation
This class is a combination of classes 2K4/2B2/2C2/2S2/2M2(2M3) in IEC Publication 721-3-2 [2].

Page 9
ETS 300 0019-1-2: February 1992
This class applies to transportation, where no special precautions have been taken.
The conditions covered include transportation in unventilated enclosures and in non-weatherprotected
conditions with restrictions on the general open-air climates, excluding cold climates. Transportation by air
covers equipment carried in heated, pressurised holds.
NOTE: A survey of applications in different climates is shown in Annex A. Climatic conditions
for different areas are defined in IEC Publication 721-2-1 [3].
Class 2.3 covers the conditions of classes 2.1 and 2.2. In addition class 2.3 has a lower cold-temperature
limit. Continuous or repeated solar radiation, precipitation and splashing of water may occur. Class 2.3
also includes all types of transport in areas without well-developed road systems. Rough handling is
included.
