TS 13100

TS 13100 is a service standard focused on how authorized services for radio equipment should be organised. In this context, an authorised service means a repair and maintenance operation working within defined organisational, technical and personnel conditions; the standard addresses the operating structure, physical characteristics, technical equipment and certification aspects of that service model.

Organisational framework for authorised service operations

The scope of the standard covers the rules for authorised services handling radio equipment. In practical terms, this kind of service is expected to support equipment not only from a technical repair perspective but also through a controlled service process. In general technical terms, radio equipment includes devices that provide wireless communication through transmitter and receiver functions, and their design may vary according to frequency, power and intended use. For that reason, service organisation depends on qualified staff, suitable facilities and traceable service records.

Technical equipment, staff competence and certification

The standard addresses the physical characteristics and technical equipment of authorised services together with the characteristics of personnel and certification. This shows that the service is treated as a structured technical unit, not merely a workspace, and that it should be capable of receiving, checking, repairing and returning equipment in an orderly manner. The certification aspect is important for recognising and verifying authorised service status; however, the available scope information does not specify detailed test methods or numerical thresholds, and instead frames these areas at a general requirements level.

• Main covered topics: operating rules, physical characteristics, technical equipment, staff qualifications and certification
• Defines the service framework for authorised services dealing with radio equipment
• Built around the general need for a service setup suitable for wireless communication equipment maintenance and repair
• Includes a reference to TS 12361:2002
