Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC. One of the most important changes is that the broadcast sound receiver was divided to the scope of the radio equipment directive (RED). In the past, the broadcast sound receivers belong to the scope of the EMCD.

The draft standard EN303 345 V1.1.7 was issued at March 2017. There has the test methods and limits for the FM, AM, DAB, DRM receivers. However there is no consensus about the limits in European Union, such as AM are considered to be too severe. In this case, the EN303 345 V1.1.7 was stopped at 22 Jan 2018.

The EN303 345-1 V1.1.1 was published by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM) at June 2019. The standard includes the generic requirements and measuring methods for the broadcast sound receivers. And at Nov. 2019, the ESTI issued below standards:

• EN303 345-2 V1.1.0 (Broadcast Sound Receivers; Part 2: AM broadcast sound service; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum)

• EN303 345-3 V1.1.0 (F Broadcast Sound Receivers; Part 3: FM broadcast sound service; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum)

• EN303 345-4 V1.1.0 (Broadcast Sound Receivers; Part 4: DAB broadcast sound service; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum)

• EN303 345-5 V1.1.0 (Broadcast Sound Receivers; Part 5: DRM broadcast sound service; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum)

Compared to the old version EN303 345 V1.1.7, all the test are same in the newest version EN303 345 except the requirement of the spurious emission was removed and the test requirement for the AM broadest sound receivers was changed. Please see the below details:
