Although not defined as such, telecommunication centres (Major and Minor) are described in section 5 of ETSI TR 101 651 (free download from www.etsi.org). They generally relate to the ‘public telcoms network’ A ‘point-of-sale terminal system with a rooftop antenna’ would certainly not be a ‘telecommunication centre’ in this context Mike Hurley Director Mead testing ltd Units 23/25 Mead park River Way Harlow CM20 2SE [email protected] www.meadtest.com phone 44 (0) 1279 635865 fax 44 (0) 1279 635874
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gelfand Sent: 09 June 2006 13:25 To: [email protected] Subject: EN 301 489-1 emissions question I need help from our esteemed CE mark experts! EMC radio equipment standard EN 301 489-1 calls out EN 55022 Class B limits in general, and Class A limits for "...equipment intended for use in telecommunication centres only,..." What is considered a "telecommunication centre?" Unfortunately I can not find any definition for this term in the standard, or in any other standards I have consulted. Is a point-of-sale terminal system with a rooftop antenna considered a "telecommunication centre?" My understanding is that EN 55022 Class B limits apply to residential environments, and Class A applies to commercial and industrial environments. I would hope in our situation that Class A will suffice. If not I am up the proverbial creek without a paddle... Thanks in advance, David. David Gelfand, P.E.
