This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements to be met by terminal equipment capable of connecting to a public telecommunications network. These requirements apply to terminals for Phase 2 of the public land mobile radio service, operating in the 900 MHz band with a channel separation of 200 kHz, utilising constant envelope modulation and carrying traffic channels according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle. This TBR specifies the terminal equipment access requirements for the GSM 900 version of the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). For each test purpose and its corresponding conformance requirement, a reference is given to the test method in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. The requirements apply at the air interface and the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment interface for the access requirements, which may be stimulated to perform the tests by additional equipment if necessary. The measurement uncertainty is described in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. This TBR covers the essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4d, 4e, 4f. Non access related aspects of speech telephony, where Article 4g has been applied, are covered by TBR 20. The Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4a and 4b are covered by other directives, and, therefore, not by this TBR. In this TBR, there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility technical requirements in terms of the Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1], Article 4c. NOTE: Technical Requirements for EMC performance and testing of the equipment are covered by the relevant standards applicable to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, Annex A. Terminal equipment may be subject to additional requirements in other CommonbTechnical Regulations (CTR) depending on the equipments functionality.

Foreword
This third edition Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group
(SMG) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This TBR covers the general access requirements for terminal equipment for the Global System for
Mobile communications (GSM) mobile services.
This TBR contains the procedures and requirements for the approval testing of GSM terminal equipment
for access.
The requirements of other TBRs apply in addition to this TBR.
For each test, supplementary information is provided, giving a justification why this item has been selected
for regulatory testing, and a reference to the relevant article of the Terminal Directive [1].
This TBR is based on ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1 version 4.15.1) [2].
This TBR 19 corresponds to TC-SMG TBR 19 version 4.2.0 and is a result of further work within TC-SMG.
NOTE: This TBR for Phase 2 may be developed in stages. The first release will include, as a
minimum, all of the basic Phase 2 requirements for full rate, half rate, and primary and
extended bands. Subsequent releases will include additional requirements.

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements to be met by terminal
equipment capable of connecting to a public telecommunications network. These requirements apply to
terminals for Phase 2 of the public land mobile radio service, operating in the 900 MHz band with a
channel separation of 200 kHz, utilizing constant envelope modulation and carrying traffic channels
according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) principle.
This TBR specifies the terminal equipment access requirements for the GSM 900 version of the Global
System for Mobile communications (GSM).
For each test purpose and its corresponding conformance requirement, a reference is given to the test
method in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. The requirements apply at the air interface and the
Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment interface for the access requirements, which may be
stimulated to perform the tests by additional equipment if necessary.
The measurement uncertainty is described in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2].
This TBR covers the essential requirements of the Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4d, 4e, 4f.
Non access related aspects of speech telephony, where Article 4g has been applied, are covered by
TBR 20.
The Terminal Directive 91/263/EEC [1] Articles 4a and 4b are covered by other directives, and, therefore,
not by this TBR.
In this TBR, there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility technical requirements in terms of the Terminal
Directive 91/263/EEC [1], Article 4c.
NOTE 1: Technical Requirements for EMC performance and testing of the equipment are
covered by the relevant standards applicable to the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC,
annex A.
Terminal equipment may be subject to additional requirements in other Common Technical Regulations
(CTR) depending on the equipments functionality.
ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] constitutes the conformance test suite for GSM. The verification of the
conformance requirements in this TBR is based on the tests described in this reference. The set of
requirements in ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] and the set of requirements in this TBR need not be
identical.
Some requirements only apply to specific types of mobile station (e.g. data tests only apply to mobile
stations with a data facility). The TBR also indicates the specific test which should be carried out for each
mobile station type.
An active accessory is covered by this TBR if it modifies the terminal performance in an aspect which
affects conformance to essential requirements.
NOTE 2: Only active devices are subject to this TBR. Accessories may be tested with specific
terminals, and either approved for use with those terminals only, or may possibly be
approved for use with a wider range of terminals, depending on the nature and effect
of the accessory.

− "ETS 300 607-1 Item" defines the item number of the conformance requirement and also the
reference to ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2]. This reference is a normative reference to a
subclause of ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) [2] containing the conformance requirement text, and
references to the base standard.
- "Description" contains a short description of the requirement
- "TBR Justification" contains supplementary information to explain the justification of the requirement
according to article 4 of the Terminal Directive [1].
- "TD Cat" defines the category according to article 4 of the Terminal Directive [1].
- "Test Cat" defines whether the requirement is covered by a "special test situation" (e.g. a
manufacturer’s declaration of some form). An "X" indicates a special test situation, whilst, a blank
entry indicates conformity is by the test referred to by this TBR.
