Draft Details

The present document contains the common requirements for marine radio communications and radio determination 
equipment and associated ancillary equipment operating from any combination of internal batteries, DC and single 
phase AC, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). 
The provisions of the present document apply to marine radio equipment not covered in the scope of the Council 
Directive on marine equipment (the "Marine Equipment Directive" 2014/90/EU [i.4]). 
Product dependent arrangements necessary to perform the EMC tests on dedicated types of marine radio 
communications and radio determination equipment, and the assessment of test results, are detailed in the appropriate 
product related parts of the present document. 
The present document, together with the product related part, specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of 
measurement, the limits and the performance criteria for marine radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. 
In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviation) between the present 
document and the relevant product related part of the present document, the product related part takes precedence. 
For the further content of the present document, the expression "radio equipment" is taken to mean marine radio 
communications or radio determination equipment, in each individual case. 
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of radio equipment and emissions from the enclosure port of radio 
equipment and combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment are not included in the present document. 
Such technical specifications are normally found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the radio 
spectrum. 
The environment classification used in the present document is maritime, as defined in EN IEC 60945 [i.3]. 
Marine radio communications equipment meeting the EMC requirements set out in EN IEC 61000-6-3 [i.1] and 
EN 61000-6-1 [i.2] is deemed to meet also the EMC requirements for the maritime environment described in 
EN IEC 60945 [i.3]. 
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus intended to be 
used in the maritime environment. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location 
but with low probability of occurrence.
