Overview

SIST EN 301 511:2001 establishes the harmonized standard for mobile stations operating in the GSM 900 and DCS 1800 frequency bands, ensuring compliance with essential requirements under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC). This standard defines the minimum technical performance and spectrum usage criteria that GSM mobile equipment must meet to prevent harmful interference and enable successful operation within designated radio bands. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) in alignment with European requirements, this standard ensures interoperability and regulatory compliance across a broad range of mobile telecommunications environments.

Key Topics

• Applicability: The standard applies to GSM mobile stations (MS) for operation in GSM 900, E-GSM 900, R-GSM 900, and DCS 1800 bands.
• Essential Requirements: Conformity is required under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, focusing on the effective and efficient use of the radio spectrum to prevent interference.
• Technical Performance: The document includes references to conformance methods defined in EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1), covering:
  • Transmitter frequency and phase errors
  • Output power and burst timing accuracy
  • Output RF spectrum and spurious emissions
  • Receiver blocking and spurious response
• Environmental Conditions: Defines operational bounds for GSM equipment to guarantee performance across varying environmental profiles.
• Type Variations: Addresses requirements for different mobile station types, including HSCSD multislot, GPRS multislot, and R-GSM devices.

Applications

SIST EN 301 511:2001 is essential for:

• Mobile Device Manufacturers: Ensuring that GSM phones and terminals meet legal and regulatory radio frequency emission and reception standards.
• Product Certification: Serving as the technical foundation for demonstrating compliance in EU markets, mandatory for CE marking of mobile equipment.
• Network Operators: Guaranteeing that deployed mobile stations do not cause harmful interference, aiding spectrum management and reliable network operation.
• Accessory Suppliers: Applying to active accessories that may influence mobile station radio performance, ensuring continued regulatory compliance post-accessory integration.
• Third-party Testing: Providing essential reference points for labs and certification bodies in performing standardized conformance tests.

The practical value of SIST EN 301 511:2001 lies in harmonizing technical standards, reducing barriers to market entry across Europe, and supporting innovation through clear requirements for GSM 900 and DCS 1800 band use.

Related Standards

To fully ensure conformity and comprehensive coverage of essential requirements for GSM mobile stations, the following related standards and legislative references are relevant:

• EN 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1): Conformance specifications and detailed test methods for GSM mobile stations.
• Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive): The foundational European directive on radio equipment and telecommunication terminal equipment.
• EN 300 919: Specifications related to the types of GSM mobile stations.
• EN 301 113: Service description for General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) in GSM systems.
• Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive): Relates to electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
• Council Directive 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage Directive): Covers electrical equipment designed for specific voltage limits.

For manufacturers and developers, consultation of these standards is recommended to ensure complete regulatory compliance for GSM mobile devices in the European Union.
