Abstract

The present document applies to requirements for avalanche beacons. Avalanche beacons are portable radio systems used for locating avalanche victims, for the purpose of direct rescue, i.e. for rescue by comrades not buried by the avalanche. The present document is applicable for avalanche beacons operating at a frequency of 457 kHz. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) [1]. - Article 3.2, which states that "radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference". In addition to the present document, other ENs (e.g. EN 300 718-3 [5]) that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the ETSI web site at http://www.newapproach.org/.
