The standard “ETSI ETS 300 019 Environmental conditions and environmental tests for telecommunications equipment”, a European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) produced by the Equipment Engineering (EE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), deals with environmental conditions and environmental tests for telecommunications equipment and consists of two main parts, each with subparts:

The standard “ETS 300 019-1-0 Part 1-0: Classification of environmental conditions - Introduction” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed at specific locations and their severities. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded and are generally less than 1 percent. The purpose of this section is to provide a general overview.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-1 Part 1-1: Classification of environmental conditions - Storage” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed during storage and their severity. Only severe conditions that may damage the equipment are included. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, typically less than 1 percent. Temporary storage during transport is included in the standard ETS 300 019-1-2. If the equipment is packaged, the environmental conditions apply to the packaging that protects the equipment.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-2 Part 1-2: Classification of environmental conditions - Bulk transport” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which telecommunications equipment may be exposed and their severity. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, generally less than 1 percent. This standard applies to equipment that is transported from one location to another after being prepared for dispatch from the manufacturer's factory. The most common modes of transport are considered, namely land, water and air transport. Loading and unloading as well as temporary storage are included. When the equipment is packaged, the environmental conditions apply to the packaged equipment. The normal transport period is assumed to be 30 days or less. If the total transport period exceeds 30 days, additional storage or packaging measures should be considered.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-3 Part 1-3: Classification of environmental conditions - Stationary use in weather-protected locations” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which telecommunications equipment may be exposed and their severities. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, typically less than 1 per cent. This standard applies to equipment installed for stationary use, including installation work, downtimes, maintenance and repair periods in weather-protected locations as defined herein.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-4 Part 1-4: Classification of environmental conditions - Stationary use in weatherproof locations” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed and their severities. Only severe conditions that may damage the equipment are included. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, generally less than 1 per cent. For the sake of completeness, the IEC grouping of outdoor climates is included in the standard annex (Annex A). This standard applies to equipment installed for stationary use, including installation work, downtimes, maintenance and repair periods in weatherproof locations as defined herein.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-5 Part 1-5: Classification of environmental conditions - Land vehicle installations” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed on land vehicles and their severity. Only severe conditions that may damage the equipment are included. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, generally less than 1 percent. This standard applies to equipment when in use and when permanently or temporarily installed on land vehicles.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-6 Part 1-6: Classification of environmental conditions - Ship environments” defines the classes and severities of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed. Only severe conditions that may damage the equipment are included. The severities specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, usually less than 1 per cent. This standard applies primarily to equipment designed for marine use. The conditions of use vary considerably according to the size of the ship and the function for which it is designed. It is necessary to ensure that the relevant classes are selected to suit the specific application. This standard covers the following types of ships:
The classes defined apply to vessels of all sizes, from pleasure craft to trawlers, ferries, icebreakers and cargo ships including tankers.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-7 Part 1-7: Classification of environmental conditions - Portable and non-stationary use” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed and their severity. Only severe conditions that may damage the equipment are included. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, typically less than 1 percent. This standard applies to equipment during portable and non-stationary use, including transfer, downtime, maintenance and repair periods.
The standard “ETS 300 019-1-8 Part 1-8: Classification of environmental conditions - Stationary use in underground locations” defines the classes of environmental conditions to which equipment may be exposed in specified locations below ground level and their severities. The severity levels specified are those with a low probability of being exceeded, typically less than 1 per cent. This standard covers equipment installed for stationary use in underground locations during normal operation, on-site installation and alignment, repair, maintenance and re-establishment of failed functions.
The standard "ETS 300 019-2-0 Part 2-0: Specification of environmental tests - Introduction" specifies the test severities and methods for verifying the resistance required for equipment to be stored, transported and used in the environments specified in the first part of this standard. The purpose of this standard is to provide an overview.

The tests defined in this standard are valid for the storage of equipment covering the environmental conditions specified in the standard ETS 300 019-1-1.
The standard "ETS 300 019-2-2 Part 2-2: Specification of environmental tests - Transport" specifies test intensities and methods for verifying the required resistance of equipment according to the relevant environmental class. The tests defined in this standard are applicable to the transport of equipment covering the environmental conditions specified in the standard ETS 300 019-1-2.
