SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI ETS 300 607-1 Edition 13. It is the GSM Phase 2 Mobile Station (MS) conformance specification, and it defines how a GSM MS is tested for radio performance, protocol behaviour, service handling, SIM-related functions, and special test interfaces.

What does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 specify?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 specifies the conformance test framework for a GSM Mobile Station. The document is written for feature-dependent testing, so the exact tests that apply depend on which speech, data, multiband, SMS, supplementary service, and interface capabilities the MS supports.

The structure is practical for laboratory use. Clauses 1 to 9 set the scope, references, definitions, test equipment, general methodology, reference methods, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and test format. Clauses 10 to 36 then cover generic call procedures, radio and signalling tests, SIM-related tests, bearer services, speech, supplementary services, SMS, battery detection, and special conformance functions.

A useful part of the organization is that many clauses use the same pattern: definition and applicability, conformance requirement, test purpose, method of test, and test requirement. That makes the document suitable for pass/fail execution in a test lab and for traceable product qualification.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005?

Test framework and applicability

Clause 3 is the gatekeeper for the whole document. It defines the MS configurations, the applicability of the specification, and the applicability of individual tests, including when a test only applies to a particular feature or service combination.

In practice, this means a test plan must start with the MS feature set. An MS that does not support a given function is not put through that function’s conformance test, and an MS that supports a function is tested with the matching procedure set.

Clauses 4 to 9 define how the tests are to be run. They cover test equipment terms and functional requirements, general testing methodology for layers 1 to 3, reference test methods, frequency choice in hopping mode, standard test signals, power control levels, implicit testing, measurement uncertainty, and the required test format.

That matters because two laboratories should be able to reach comparable results. It also gives buyers and quality teams a basis for judging whether a report is methodologically sound, not just whether a device “worked” in one setup.

Call setup and general conformance checks

Clause 10 gives generic call set-up procedures for mobile terminating and mobile originating speech and data calls. The procedures show the signalling sequence from channel request through authentication, ciphering, setup, assignment, connect, and completion.

Clause 11 adds general tests for support and non-support of selected services and features, including multiple numbering scheme or ISDN support, the single numbering scheme, AoCC, call hold, multiparty, FDN, and IMEI security. It also includes coding of the Bearer Capability information element.

In practice, these clauses tell a tester what signalling sequence should appear and what service behavior should be accepted or rejected. For a buyer or quality manager, they show whether the MS is expected to handle a service correctly or to reject it cleanly when the service is not supported.

Radio performance, mobility, and timing

Clauses 12 to 16 cover the radio side of the MS. They address conducted and radiated spurious emissions, transmitter frequency and phase error, burst timing, output RF spectrum, intermodulation attenuation, receiver sensitivity, co-channel and adjacent-channel rejection, blocking, spurious response, AM suppression, paging performance at high input levels, timing advance, absolute delay, and reception time tracking speed.

Clause 17 covers access times during handover, and clause 18 covers temporary reception gaps. Clause 19 covers channel release after unrecoverable errors. Clause 20 covers cell selection and reselection, including priority, neighbour-cell list handling, emergency calls, downlink signalling failure, and multiband cell selection and reselection.

These clauses matter because they describe whether the MS can stay usable in real networks, not just in ideal lab conditions. They also show what the terminal must do when the signal changes, when mobility occurs, or when errors interrupt service.

Layer 2, Layer 3, and service signalling

Clause 25 tests Layer 2 signaling functions such as initialization, information transfer, disconnection, link failure, frame errors, control-field errors, and invalid frames. Clause 26 then tests Layer 3 functions, including channel request, IMSI detach and attach, idle-mode behaviour, error handling, paging, measurement reports, channel assignment, handover, frequency redefinition, ciphering mode setting, classmark handling, channel release, starting time procedures, mobility management, circuit switched call control, structured procedures, E-GSM signalling, multiband signalling, and Enhanced Full Rate signalling.

This is the part of the standard that proves the MS can talk to the network correctly. A terminal can have good RF performance and still fail conformance if it mishandles messages, rejects procedures incorrectly, or does not recover cleanly from failures.

SIM/ME interface, data, speech, and user services

Clause 27 covers the SIM/ME interface, including MS identification, forbidden PLMNs, access control, exchange protocol tests, directory characteristics, secret code usage, FND, phase identification, SIM presence detection, and AoC-related behaviour. Clause 28 covers autocalling restrictions. Clause 29 covers bearer services, including transparent and non-transparent data, RLP tests, facsimile, and negotiation of data-related parameters.

Clauses 30 and 32 cover speech teleservices and speech transcoding functions, including sending and receiving sensitivity, loudness ratings, side tone measures, acoustic coupling loss, distortion, out-of-band signals, idle channel noise, and transmission delay. Clauses 31 and 34 cover supplementary services and SMS, including number identification services, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, multiparty, charging services, USSD, SMS point-to-point, and cell broadcast.

In practice, these clauses are what make the standard relevant to real user experience. They define how the MS should behave during calls, texts, charging events, and supplementary service use, and they help a lab verify that the user-facing features work consistently.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 define?

• Mobile Station (MS) - The terminal under test, covering its radio, protocol, and service behaviour.
• Mobile Originated (MO) - A call or service action initiated by the MS.
• Mobile Terminated (MT) - A call or service action initiated toward the MS by the network.
• Advice of Charge Charging (AoCC) - Charging behaviour that delivers charging information during an active call.
• Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) - A feature that restricts outgoing calls to permitted numbers.
• Short Message Service (SMS) - The messaging service tested for both mobile originated and mobile terminated operation, including cell broadcast.
• Unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) - Supplementary service messaging handled in clause 31.9 and related MMI tests.
• Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) - The speech mode whose signalling and speech-related tests are covered in clause 26.12 and clause 32.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005?

SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 is used by MS manufacturers, conformance test laboratories, and quality teams that need to verify GSM terminal behaviour against a defined test suite. It is also useful for buyers and acceptance teams who need to know what a GSM terminal has been tested for, especially when comparing voice, data, SMS, supplementary services, and SIM-related capabilities.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005 from the previous edition?

This thirteenth edition updates several test areas named in the document scope. The stated changes cover RLP parameter negotiation, checkpointing of I+S frame retransmission, acoustic testing of the MS over the air interface, reformat test case definition, empty I+S frame exchange, improvement to DCS1800 MS sensitivity test 20.20.1, multiband cell selection and reselection, timing between Physical Information and Handover Complete messages in test case 26.6.5.1, removal of the E1 bit reference in section 29.3, the maximum duration of test requirement in test case 29.3.3.2, and frequency list changes with correct call clearing in test case 26.10.2.4.1.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 607-1 E13:2005?

• GSM 05.05 - Used for RF-related requirements such as spurious emissions, transmitter spectrum, and extreme-condition limits.
• GSM 05.10 - Used for frequency error, phase error, burst timing, and timing advance-related checks.
• GSM 05.02 - Used in bad-frame tests that reference correct MS behaviour in a phase 1 network.
