Appendix O to the ACP WGM/8 Report
ETSI Brief
Note that the following is an edited version of a presentation given to cover status of draft EN 302 186 for 14-14.5 GHz AES by Tony Azzarelli
in Sept. 2003;
This is being provided informally by Diane Revell on 26 Nov. 2003 to some members of ICAO ANC WG-M relative to a discussion during the meeting regarding the ETSI EN cycle raised during discussion of paper
ACP WG-M/8 WP-23 relative to GNSS SARP’s and its reference to a draft update to EN 301 473 relative to GLONASS receivers protection. The purpose is to provide some information on the ETSI cycle for EN’s
not to provide status on either of the specific EN’s for AES.

General Information
Technical Committee on Satellite Earth Stations (TC-SES) is the group in ETSI to deal with Satellite equipment in general.
TC-SES is made up of Working Groups
One of the ETSI deliverables is the European Norm (EN), which is a document that is legally bound within the European Union and accepted by other ETSI member countries (total of 35 European Administration as of Oct. 2002).
Page 3
Two-step Approval Process and Public Enquiry
TC-SES can approve a draft EN for the Two-step Approval Process (TAP). This takes nearly 1 year to approve as a legally binding document. If no reference document is drafted for a particular work item or it is an update to an existing EN the process can be shortened by about 1 year.
The Public Enquiry Phase (PE) is the first step of TAP, which can typically take 4 months;
In this phase comments are received on the draft EN in question from the members of ETSI.
Page 4
Resolution Meeting and Start of Voting
A Resolution meeting is set at ETSI to resolve any comments received during the Public Enquiry phase.
Comments are analyzed and replies created for input to the Resolution meeting;
When the new version of the draft EN is approved at the Resolution meeting, the document will go to the next TC-SES meeting for final approval.
If approved the document will go to the Voting Phase, i.e. each (ETSI) Administration will now have nearly 2 months to say:– “yes” unconditionally;
or – “no” with appropriate reason (mandatory).
Page 5
Voting Phase and Adoption
When the voting phase is terminated (about a two-month period), the votes are counted. Votes from each country are “weighted” based on their membership fee (proportional to GDP);
Quorum is 50% and Success is 71% of weighted votes;
If vote on a EN is negative, then votes on EU countries are counted: If vote is positive then EN is adopted for all EU countries and
those others that voted in favour.
If EN is adopted then it will be published by the EC into the Official Journal of the European Communities.
National Standard Organization will need to adopt it nationally if they want it to apply to their legislation. Until then the EN will remain non-mandatory.

1.1 How to Access EU market
Directives & regulations
Radio & TelecommunicationsTerminal EquipmentDirective (1999/5/EC)
Radio Spectrum Decision
676/2002/EC
Page 11
1.2 Why the RTTE Directive (1) ?
Radio type approval required in every country
Low Voltage Directive and EMC Directive
TTE Directive & SES Directive required compulsory testing
Approval process lasts 2 years or more
Before the Directive….
Page 12
1.2 Why the RTTE Directive (2) ?
Aim 1: to allow new equipment onto the market quickly – No more type approval – Market surveillance instead– LVD & EMC incorporated (one-stop shop)– Lighter technical requirements
Aim 2: to encourage harmonisation & openness of use of radio spectrum
– Member states have to notify radio regulations for use of radio spectrum
– Commission to establish equivalency of national regulations
– BUT national regulation of spectrum use….
Page 13
1.2 Why the RTTE Directive (3) ?
Aim 3: to increase competition for terminal equipment
– Interworking no longer a requirement to access the market
– Network operator has to publish interface specifications
Page 14
1.3 What does a manufacturer need to do?
Meet the “essential requirements”health & safetyelectromagnetic compatibilityavoidance of harmful interference (radio equipment only)possibly others, if invoked by the Commission
Carry out « essential radio test suites »
Inform member state (if using non-harmonised radio spectrum)
Meet national radio interface regulations

1.4.1 Harmonised Standards
Where apparatus meets the relevant harmonised standards or parts thereof whose reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, Member States shall presume compliance with those of the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 as are covered by the said harmonised standards or parts thereof. [Article 5.1]
