Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB);
Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems
Scope: The present document specifies the Service Information (SI) data which forms a part of Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) bitstreams, in order that the user can be provided with information to assist in selection of services and/or events within the bitstream, and so that the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) can automatically configure itself for the selected service. SI data for automatic configuration is mostly specified within ISO/IEC 13818-1 as Program Specific Information (PSI).
The present document specifies additional data which complements the PSI by providing data to aid automatic tuning of IRDs, and additional information intended for display to the user. The manner of presentation of the information is not specified in the present document, and IRD manufacturers have freedom to choose appropriate presentation methods.
It is expected that Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) will be a feature of Digital TeleVision (TV) transmissions.
The definition of an EPG is outside the scope of the present document (i.e. the SI specification), but the data contained within the SI specified in the present document may be used as the basis for an EPG.
Rules of operation for the implementation of the present document are specified in ETSI TS 101 211.

Environmental Engineering (EE);
Environmental conditions and environmental tests for telecommunications equipment;
Part 1: Classification of environmental conditions;
Sub-part 2: Transportation
Scope: The present document defines classes of environmental conditions and their severities to which telecommunication equipment may be exposed. The severities specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded; generally less than 1 % of the time of a transport.
The present document applies to equipment being transported from one place to another after being made ready for dispatch from the manufacturer's works. The most commonly used methods of transportation have been taken into account, i.e. ground, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary storage, have been included. Where the equipment is packaged the environmental conditions apply to the packaged equipment.
NOTE: Normal transportation time is considered to be 30 days or less. Where the total transportation time exceeds 30 days then additional storage or packaging precautions should be considered.
The tests applicable to verify the compliance with the transportation and handling environmental classes of the present document, are defined in ETSI EN 300 019-2-2.
