This technical report contains the requirements necessary for the safety of personnel against hazards which may occur in operating and maintaining mobile radio equipment. Where mandatory requirements exist relating to safety, these take precedence over the requirements given in this report. This report applies to all mobile radio equipment and auxiliary apparatus, including combining units and matching networks, antenna systems and associated feeder-lines.Remote controls and private or public telephone interconnect circuits are also included.This report refers to all classes of protective insulation and equipment defined in IEC 536. NOTE — Power supplies and battery chargers operating outside the housing of the mobile or fixed radio installation are not included in this scope. This report deals with protection against: - injury; - electric shock; - skin burns; - high temperature and fire; - harmful radiation; miscellaneous hazards. Design and construction requirements and, where appropriate, test methods are specified covering: a) the safety of personnel when operating, carrying out routine adjustments to, and as far as practicable, during fault finding and repair of the equipment; b) the safety of personnel when the equipment is operating normally and also when it is operating under certain specific fault conditions which may arise in normal use; and c) the prevention of fire and its spread. The requirements do not necessarily ensure the safety of personnel working on the equipment when it is not in normal operation. Tests are specified, where appropriate, for checking that the equipment meets the safety requirements of this report when operating normally and also under the specified fault conditions. These tests should be carried out on a representative set of equipment in order to determine whether the design meets the requirements of the report. The use of this report is not, however, intended to be restricted to type tests. It may also be used for acceptance tests after installation of the equipment, for tests after modifications to parts of the equipment and for tests at appropriate intervals to ensure the continuing safety of the equipment throughout its life.
