This includes :

CATV-networks,

MATV-networks and SMATV-networks,

Individual receiving networks

and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations installed in such networks.

The extent of this standardisation work is from the antennas, special signal source inputs to the headend or other interface points to the network up to the terminal input.

The standardisation of any user terminals (i.e. tuners, receivers, decoders, terminals etc.) as well as of any coaxial, balanced and optical cables and accessories thereof is excluded.
