This Recommendation specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) common requirements and test methods for digital cellular mobile communication base station (BS) equipment, repeaters and associated ancillary equipment which are independent of any kind of wireless access technologies, such as second, third, fourth or fifth generation.

Test conditions for BSs used in variety modality are described, e.g., macro BS, distributed BS, micro BS, pico BS, integral antenna BS, active antenna BS and over the air (OTA) active antenna BS; performance criteria for immunity tests are also specified.

This Recommendation describes the specific testing levels to be applied to radio communication BSs in different environments, such as telecommunication centres, customer premises and outside plants.

Technical specifications relating to unwanted emissions (including spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions) from the enclosure port of radio equipment or from combinations of radio and associated ancillary equipment lie outside the scope of this Recommendation. Such technical specifications are found in [ITU-R SM.329-12].
