electronics: No. Unless the device contains a radio receiver, in which case consult the the regulatory label. also, http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet62/oet62rev.pdf

Thanks for the link, that's very useful. I found the passage "Marketing through a general retail outlet or by mail order to the general public with a simple disclaimer, such as "For Business Use Only," is not sufficient to qualify as Class A. Instead, all marketing (advertising, sale and distribution) must be restricted by the marketer to users in a commercial, industrial, or business environment" quite interesting. I've wondered how much manufacturers can wriggle out of their statutory obligations to consumers by adding the disclaimer "For Business Use Only". Sounds like these ASIC miners should be going for FCC certification/verification in the US. I would imagine that the same is probably true in the EU too. Do you know how aggressively are these rules enforced?
Mostly FCC only gets involved if some commercial operator reports a problem.  So, unless you are interfering with the local radio station, you're probably OK.  And if you're putting out enough energy to interfere with your neighbor's radio, then something is seriously wrong with your setup and you're wasting a ton of money on energy costs.  FCC does have some roaming installations that scan for illegal transmissions, but nothing the average bitcoiner need worry about.

Hello,

I am an electrical and mechanical engineer consulting with a group of ASIC buyers on developing and implementing new mining electronics and hardware.  I would like to be able to contribute to the technical discussions that are in progress in the Custom Hardware forum, and to ask questions from the knowledgeable members of the community.  

Here is a link to my Linked In profile for reference: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=186660198

Thank you for your consideration.

Darin
