The classification includes both the signalling equipment itself and the associated transmission mechanisms (electrical, mechanical, or optical), but excludes telecommunications systems and broadcasting covered by H classes and specific signalling applications in railway, maritime, or aviation contexts covered under their respective domain classes.
