Foreword
This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical
Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [43] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (89/336/EEC [41] as amended).

1 Scope
The present document covers the EMC requirements for equipment intended to be used within a telecommunications
network (as defined in clause 3). Examples of such equipment are:
• Switching equipment. Such equipment includes:
- local telephone exchanges;
- remote switching concentrators;
- international switches;
- telex switches;
- network packet switches.
• General purpose equipment, which is used as a part of a switching system, may be covered by the scope of
other standards. For such equipment, if those other standards fully cover all the requirements of the present
document, no further requirements are necessary. Switching equipment can also contain transmission
functions, and this has to be recognized during testing.
• Non-radio transmission equipment and ancillary equipment. Such equipment includes:
- multiplexers;
- line equipment and repeaters, e.g. equipment for:
- Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH);
- Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH);
- Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM);
such as:
- Digital Cross Connect systems;
- network terminations;
- transmission equipment used in the access network like XDSL.
• Power supply equipment. Such equipment includes:
- central power plant;
- end of suite power supplies;
- uninterruptible power supplies;
- stabilized AC power supplies;
- and other dedicated telecommunication network power supplies;
but excludes equipment which is uniquely associated with or integrated in other equipment.
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 300 386 V1.3.2 (2003-05)
• Supervisory equipment. Such equipment includes:
- network management equipment;
- operator access maintenance equipment;
- traffic measurement systems;
- line test units;
- functional test units.
The function of supervision may either be performed by independent equipment or form part of other
telecommunication equipment. If the function of supervision forms part of a telecommunication equipment, the
performance may be evaluated simultaneously with other functions (such as switching and transmission) during EMC
testing.
The environmental classification used in the present document refers to TR 101 651 [42].
The requirements of the present document have been selected to ensure an adequate level of immunity for the apparatus
covered by the scope of the present document. The levels do not, however, cover extreme cases which may occur at any
location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases, situations may arise where the levels of disturbance
may exceed the immunity test levels specified in the present document. In these instances, special mitigation measures
may have to be employed.
Equipment for cabled distribution systems intended only for television and sound signals as defined in EN 50083-2 [3]
and optical amplifiers as defined in ITU-T Recommendations G.661 [23] and G.662 [24] are outside the scope of the
present document.

The installation environments for the equipment covered by the present document are defined in TR 101 651 [42]. The
environments defined are either:
- the telecommunication centre (major and minor);
- locations other than telecommunication centre e.g. within offices, customers' premises, outdoor locations, etc.
If no restrictions are specified in the product documentation for the installation environment, the equipment shall
comply with the requirements of all environments, implying that the more severe test level shall be used when the test is
performed.
5 Immunity: test methods

Where reference is made in the present document to specific "test levels" to be used for the tests, it is implicitly required
that the EUT shall also fulfil the compliance criteria when tested at "test levels" lower than those specified. This
requirement does not apply, however, to tests for immunity to continuous phenomena.
Conducted immunity tests shall be applied to one port at a time.
Conducted immunity test shall not be applied to the signal ports that, according to the product documentation, are not
permanently connected.
One signal port of each type found on the equipment shall be tested. If in normal installation practice multi-pair cables
(e.g. 64 × balanced pairs) and composite cables (e.g. a combination of fibre and copper) are used, they may be tested as
one single cable. Cables bundled for aesthetic or routing purposes are to be tested individually.
It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a particular equipment that some
of the tests are inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such a case, it is required that both the decision and the
justification not to apply any particular test to any particular port be recorded in the test report.
5.1 Electrostatic discharge

The immunity test method and laboratory conditions are described in EN 61000-4-2 [7].
ESD shall be applied only to those points and surfaces of the EUT that are expected to be touched during normal
operation including users access as specified in the user manual.
The application of discharges to any point of the equipment other than the electrostatic protection point, which is
accessible only for maintenance purposes, is not required. The application of ESD to the contacts of open connectors is
not required.
5.2 Electrical fast transients/burst

The immunity test method and laboratory conditions are described in EN 61000-4-4 [9].

5.3.1 Outdoor signal line ports
The immunity test method to be used for signal line ports is described in the EN 61000-4-5 [10].
Where normal functioning cannot be achieved because of the impact of the CDN on the EUT, no immunity test shall be
required.
5.3.2 Indoor signal line ports

Annex A specifies an appropriate test method, dedicated to unshielded 4-wire balanced interface types with phantom
DC power feeding and operating at bit rates up to and including 2 Mbit/s. This test method shall apply when the
coupling/decoupling network specified in the EN 61000-4-5 [10] is not suitable for the bit rate of the signal port under
test.
The test set up for shielded interface cables is specified in EN 61000-4-5 [10].
For ports connected to multi-conductor lines, for which the network according to annex A is not applicable, the
networks according to EN 61000-4-5 [10] shall be used.
Where normal functioning cannot be achieved because of the impact of the CDN on the EUT, no immunity test shall be
required.
5.3.3 AC power ports

Ports, which according to the manufacturer's specification are not intended to be connected to lines longer than 3 m,
shall not be subjected to these tests.
5.4.2.2 DC power port

shall not be subjected to these tests. The coupling/decoupling network type M1 (see EN 61000-4-6 [11]) shall be used
when the DC return lead at the EUT side is to be connected to the equipment protective earth. If the DC return lead is
not connected to the equipment protective earth then the coupling/decoupling network M2 (see EN 61000-4-6 [11])
shall be used.

The EUT shall be connected to the DC power supply through an artificial network to provide a defined impedance
across EUT at the point of measurement and to provide isolation from the noise on the DC power supply lines.
The artificial network to be used is the one described in CISPR 16-1 [1], clause 5:
- 0,15 MHz to 30 MHz: (50 Ω // 50 µH).
Figure 1 shows the general form for the measurement of interference voltages between each conductor and the reference
ground plane. The DC return lead at the EUT side shall be connected to the protective earth if this is required by the
equipment installation specification.
ETSI
16 ETSI EN 300 386 V1.3.2 (2003-05)
When the use of the artificial network is not suitable (e.g. when the artificial mains network with the current capacity of
the EUT is not commercially available) the method described in CISPR 16-1 [1] for the voltage probe (1 500 Ω) shall
be used.
Radio Frequency (RF) noise not produced by the device under test shall be at least 6 dB below the appropriate test limit
level.

8 General test configuration

The EUT shall be configured and operated in accordance with the basic EMC standards.
The signal or control ports shall be correctly terminated either by auxiliary equipment necessary to exercise the ports or
by their nominal impedance.
Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid any effects of unwanted signals on the measuring equipment used to monitor
the performance of the EUT.
The equipment test conditions shall be as close as possible to the installed conditions, as defined by the manufacturer.
Wiring shall be consistent with the manufacturer's recommended procedures, and the equipment shall be in its housing
with all covers and access panels in place as in normal operation, unless otherwise stated. If the equipment is designed
to be mounted in a rack or cabinet, it should be tested in this configuration.
Signal ports are divided into two categories:
- main signal ports which provide the telecommunications service (third party traffic);
- auxiliary signal ports, i.e. ports for alarms, maintenance, etc., which are only used by the operator or the
service provider.
A sufficient number of ports shall be correctly terminated to ensure that the test is representative of normal operating
conditions and the selection of ports shall be specified in the test report.
The earth connections of the EUT shall be connected to a reference earth according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Only cables that are permanently connected shall be included.
The types of the cables connected to the EUT shall be indicated in the test report.
The test configurations shall be recorded in the test report.
9 General operational conditions during testing

The general operational conditions shall allow for appropriate measuring of the emission and for testing of immunity.
Special exercising equipment and/or software may be used with the object of reducing the test time and to simulate
traffic conditions.
The tests described shall be performed with the Equipment Under Test (EUT) powered up (i.e. connected to an
appropriate power supply), and operating in a manner which is as representative of normal operation as possible.
Details on the evaluation of test results are given in annex B.
9.1 Equipment configuration

Power and signal distribution, grounding, interconnecting cabling and physical placement of equipment of a test system
shall simulate the typical application and usage in so far as is practicable, and shall be in accordance with the relevant
product specifications of the manufacturer.
The configuration that tends to maximize the EUT's emission or minimize its immunity is not usually intuitively
obvious and in most instances selection will involve some trial and error testing.
EXAMPLE: Interface cables may be moved or equipment re-orientated during initial stages of testing and the
effects on the results observed.
Only configurations within the range of positions likely to occur in normal use need to be considered.
The configuration selected shall be fully detailed and documented in the test report, together with the justification for
selecting that particular configuration.
ETSI
25 ETSI EN 300 386 V1.3.2 (2003-05)
9.2 Operation of multimedia network equipment

Multimedia network equipment which is subjected simultaneously to different clauses of the present document and/or
other standards shall be tested with each function operating in isolation, if this can be achieved without modifying the
equipment internally. The equipment thus tested shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of all
clauses/standards when each function has satisfied the requirements of the relevant clause/standard.
For equipment for which it is not practical to test with each function operating in isolation, or where the isolation of a
particular function would result in the equipment being unable to fulfil its primary function, the equipment shall be
deemed to have complied if the relevant provisions of each clause/standard are taken into account, with the necessary
functions operative.
In case of emission requirements, if the limits for the different functions are not identical, the highest limits for the
functions in operation apply, taking into account the specific measurement conditions related to those (highest) limits.
EXAMPLE 1: For telecommunication equipment provided with an RF port for CATV distribution, this would
mean that the emission requirements at the RF port shall be according to EN 50083-2 [3].
In case of immunity requirements, if the test levels for the different functions are not identical, the level for the function
under test applies, taking into account the performance criteria for this function.
EXAMPLE 2: For telecommunication equipment provided with an RF port for CATV distribution, this would
mean that the RF port shall be measured according to EN 50083-2 [3].
Field immunity of telecommunication functions shall be measured according to the present document. Field immunity
of the distribution of television and sound signal functions shall be measured according to EN 50083-2 [3].
10 General immunity conditions

If the minimum performance level or permissible performance loss is not specified in the following clauses or by the
manufacturer, then either of these may be deduced from the product description and documentation, and what the user
may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
10.1 General performance criteria

The general performance criteria apply for those ports for which no specific performance criteria are defined
(e.g. auxiliary ports) in the present document.
Where the specific immunity criteria are not relevant or in appropriate, relevant justification shall be included in the test
report highlighting how the EUT was fully exercised and met the general immunity criteria defined in this clause.
Performance criterion A:
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below
a performance level specified by the manufacturer when the apparatus is used as intended. In some cases the
performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. If the minimum performance level or the
permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, then either of these may be deduced from the product
description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
Performance criterion B:
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is
allowed below a performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. In some
cases the performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. During the exposure to an
electromagnetic phenomenon, degradation of performance is, however, allowed. No change of actual operating state or
stored data is allowed. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the
manufacturer, then either of these may be deduced from the product description and documentation and what the user
may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
ETSI
26 ETSI EN 300 386 V1.3.2 (2003-05)
Performance criterion C:
As defined in clause 6 of EN 50082-1 [2], temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the function is
self-recoverable or can be restored by the operation of the controls, or, in the case of switching equipment, by normal
subsequent use.
11 Switching equipment specific requirements
11.1 Test configuration

In figure 2, two separate processes are monitored simultaneously. The first is the continuous process of establishing and
clearing connections and the second is the stable situation of monitoring signal quality during testing. It is to be
considered that at least a part of the set-up for both processes covers the full signal path from subscriber to the network.
The signal loop at the network end can either be established by test equipment or by a simple cable loop. In the later
case the simulation of normal grounding and connection practice is required.
The test equipment may be digital or analogue signal analyser as required. The test equipment may also loop back the
test signal.

switching equipment with more than 32 subscriber lines (analogue or digital) a choice of at least 32 lines shall be made
among the available lines. In this case, as it is impossible to do tests at all ports, single ports of each type shall be
selected for the testing. At least one port of each type shall be tested.
The ports shall be configured with their nominal impedance for a connection to another port. Auxiliary equipment may
be used to simulate the functional termination of the ports.
Connections have to be provided which shall be established before the start of the tests and then maintained.
11.2.1 Emission
The general requirements for test methods are described in clause 6 of the present document.
11.2.2 Immunity

11.3 Specific immunity performance criteria

The performance criteria are based on the performance criteria given in ETR 238 [13]. For the switching equipment the
following main signal ports are recognized:
- analogue ports (e.g. analogue subscribers' lines, analogue interfaces to transmission equipment);
- digital ports (e.g. digital subscribers' lines (ISDN), digital connections to transmission equipment).
The interfaces shall operate as described in the following clauses.
11.3.1 Digital port performance criteria

applicable).
For selected frequencies (see clause 11.2.2):
- it shall be possible to establish a connection between two ports;
- it shall be possible to clear a connection in a controlled manner.
ETSI

11.3.1.2 Performance criterion B (transient phenomena)

The established connections shall be maintained throughout testing except in the case of surge immunity testing at 1 kV
where disconnection is allowed on the port being tested:
- it shall be possible to establish a connection between two ports after the end of the transient disturbances;
- it shall be possible to clear a connection in a controlled manner after the end of the transient disturbances.
11.3.1.3 Performance criterion C (interruptions)

The general performance criterion C applies.
11.3.2 Analogue port performance criteria

During the sweep:
- the established connections shall be maintained throughout testing;
- the noise level at a two wire analogue interface shall be less than -40 dBm at 600 Ω (ignoring the nominal
impedance of the port for practical reasons) if not otherwise stated by the manufacturer. The measurement
shall be done selectively with a bandwidth ≤ 100 Hz at 1 kHz;

• Measuring the audio signal break-through (demodulated 1 kHz) at any POTS port whilst continuous
interference phenomena are applied.
• Testing the functionality of the system at the cessation of test.
• Ensuring that any software or stored data corruption has not occurred.
• For ISDN ports the performance requirements of clause 12.3.4 shall apply.
13.3.1 Performance Criteria A (continuous phenomena)

- During the test sweep the established connection shall be maintained throughout the testing and the transfer of
information shall be without any reproducible bit errors or loss of synchronization. If a degradation in
performance is observed and the system is adaptive i.e. has the capability to automatically re-train in the
presence of an interfering signal, then for Conducted Immunity tests only the following procedure shall be
followed:
1) For each range of interfering frequencies where a degradation in performance is observed, three
frequencies (beginning, middle and end) shall be identified.
ETSI
34 ETSI EN 300 386 V1.3.2 (2003-05)
2) At each of the frequencies identified in step 1, the interfering signal shall be turned on and the system is
allowed to re-train. If the system is able to re-train and then function without any reproducible bit errors
or loss of synchronization then the system's performance is considered acceptable.
3) The frequencies identified in 1 and the data rates achieved in 2 shall be recorded in the test report.
- During the test sweep the demodulated noise level at the POTS port shall be less than -40 dBm at 600 Ω
(ignoring the nominal port impedance for practical reasons) if not otherwise stated by the manufacturer. The
measurement shall be done selectively with a bandwidth ≤ 100 Hz at 1 kHz. As an alternative method the
acoustic sound pressure level (SPL) at the receiver of a telephone connected to the two-wire analogue interface
shall not exceed 55 dB (SPL) when measured in a bandwidth ≤ 100 Hz at 1 kHz.
13.3.2 Performance Criteria B (transient phenomena)

The general performance criteria B shall apply in that errors are acceptable during the application of the test. However
the application of the test shall not cause the system to lose the established connection or delay function (e.g. by
re-train). At the cessation of the test the system shall operate error free without user intervention.
The above performance criteria does not apply to surge testing. For this test, the EUT shall operate as intended
following the cessation of the exposure.

NOTE: The impedance matching network is required to protect the mains supply and the power source for remote
power feeding from test overvoltages and to establish standard termination conditions for the test. It is
used:
- to couple the EUT either to the ac mains or to the dc feeding source PS;
- to terminate the mains input with the low impedance port L2/N2, to standardize the presentation of the
mains source;
- to feed the EUT from a high impedance port L1/N1 to allow for effective surge application at the
feeding interface of the TE.
In conjunction with a coupling capacitance of 1 µF (two capacitors C = 500 nF) as incorporated in the
coupling network figure A.1, a nominal pulse form of 1,2/50 µs shall be influenced by the high impedance
port L1/N1 of the impedance matching networks; figure A.2, to a reduced time to half value of about 40 µs.
For the nominal pulse form 10/700 µs the time to half value may be reduced to approximately 100 µs. This
reduction is envisaged and in line with the statistics of overvoltages at mains socket-outlets.

Guidance on EMC performance requirements and methods
of measurement for RF ports (in the sense of EN 50083
series) of multimedia network equipment
This annex provides additional testing to be performed on network equipment, that are to be included in cable
distribution systems. This type of equipment shall be known as "multimedia network equipment".
The rationale behind this annex is that cable distribution systems for television and sound signals are being used for
many more interactive services, some network equipment can include both RF ports as defined in the EN 50083 series
and network ports as defined in the present document. Hence these additional requirements will provide a single
standard for the EMC assessment of "multimedia network equipment".
RF ports of multimedia network shall comply with the requirements of the following clauses of EN 50083-2 [3]:
1995/A1: 1997:
• 4.1.3: Measurement of input terminal disturbance voltage;
• 4.3.4.1: Internal immunity in the frequency range 47 MHz to 862 MHz;
• 4.3.4.2: Internal immunity in the frequency range 10,95 GHz to 12,75 GHz; and
• 4.3.4.3: Immunity of outdoor units to image frequency signals.
Performance requirements are defined in the following clauses:
• 5.1.2: Limits of input terminal disturbance voltages;
• 5.3.4: Internal immunity; and
• 5.3.5: Immunity of outdoor units to image frequency signals.
