Database
In this page you find the database with the characteristics of radio services prepared by CISPR SC-H. The aims of this database is to report those characteristics which are relevant for derivation and specification of limits for disturbance emissions from electric and/or electronic equipment, systems and installations. This database is not comprehensive of all radio services. In case you have to add radio service specifications, you are invited to send input to CISPR H Secretary and CISPR H Chairman providing the parameters required for this database.
This database shall be used/consultated in combination with the ITU-R recommendations and other sources for consistencies. Information provided in this database are necessary for determining emission limits and some parameters of this database are not generally available in ITU-R recommendations. In this page, the links to ITU-R publications and National frequency plans provided by National Committees, are also included.
