Icom Quality and Reliability Below are some of the technical standards Icom radios meet or exceed. Different models meet different standards based on customer needs. • TIA/EIA603, TIA/EIA TSB102 technical standard compliance TIA/EIA603 is the Land Mobile FM or PM Communications Equipment Measurement and Performance Standards. TIA/EIA TSB102 is theTelecommunications System Bulletin for Digital C4FM/CQPSK Transceivers Mesuement Method. • EN 300-086 technical standard compliance This standard is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement of radio equipment for use in the land mobile service. • FM intrinsically safe approved FM approvals are intended to verify that the products and services described will meet stated conditions of performance, safety and quality useful to the ends of property conservation. • ATEX intrinsically safe approved The ATEX Directive is a legal requirement in all European Union Member States if equipment is intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. • IP54, IP55, IPx7, IPx8 dust/water resistance and submersible compliance International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment. It defines the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment. • MIL-STD-810F environment testing standards The MIL-STD-810 series of standards are issued by the United States Army's Developmental Test Command to specify various environmental tests to prove that equipment qualified to the standard will survive in the field. The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA, until 1997 Electronic Industries Association) is a trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the leading trade association representing the global information and communications technology (ICT) industries. This European Telecommunication Standard has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). FM Approvals tests and approves electrical equipment in accordance with Approval Standards and/or American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. Hazardous location electrical equipment testing is one of FM Approvals' largest product categories. The ATEX Directive is a legal requirement in all European Union Member States if an equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. A United States Defense Standard, called a "MILSTD", is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.
