This draft European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication and ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)@ and is intended to become a Harmonized EMC Standard@ which may be used to demonstrate presumption of compliance with the protection requirements of the Council Directive 89/336/EEC [3] Article 4 (EMC Directive). This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests@ the methods of measurement@ the limits and the minimum performance criteria for radio equipment intended to be used by radio amateurs within the meaning of article 1@ definition 53 of the Radio Regulations in the International Telecommunications Convention and which is available commercially. This ETS applies to amateur radio equipment either manufactured commercially as ready-to-use equipment or as modules or as components having an intrinsic functionality. The environment classifications used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in the generic standards EN 50081-1 [1]@ EN 50082-1 [2]@ except the vehicular environment class which refers to ISO 7637 [13]@ [14]. The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus in residential@ commercial@ light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels however@ do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomena is permanently present@ e.g. a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the source of interference or the interfered part or both. Compliance of radio equipment with the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to any requirements related to the use of the equipment (for example@ licensing requirements). Compliance to this ETS does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However@ it is the responsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observation regarding the equipment becoming dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests of this ETS@ should be properly documented.
