This part of IEC 60244 defines the general characteristics of broadcast transmitters and standardizes the conditions and methods of measurement to be used to ascertain the performance of a broadcast transmitter and to make possible the comparison of the results of measurements made by different observers.
The methods of measurement detailed in this standard are intended for type tests and may also be used for acceptance tests and factory tests (see clause 3).
This part of IEC 60244 does not specify limiting values of the various quantities for acceptable performance, as these should be given in the relevant equipment specification, preferably in the form laid down in an appropriate IEC recommendation.
