Dear experts, In USA, are there any regulatory EMC requirements for construction machinery (heavy machinery in general) such as crane, backhoe, etc.?
For FCC, 47 CFR 15.103(a) says that digital devices utilized exclusively in transportation vehicle are exempted, but FCC OET says "The exemption is only intended for digital devices which operate primarily when the vehicle is operating in a mobile environment such as on a road or highway where the potential for interference is low" (KDB 892282) and I guessed that construction machinery would not covered by the exemption (i.e., may be covered by 47 CFR 15) even if the machinery can run on road. I also guessed that OSHA (or somebody else) may say something for electromagnetic immunity of such machinery as those malfunction can cause injury or death, but could find nothing about such requirements.
