That's seems quite reasonable because industrial process control equipment is very definitely intended for use within an "industrial" environment where the worst threats will be "local" equipment rather than from broadcast services transmitter, because tere is not much point in specifying a reduced-immunity product for use where the local emissions environment is Class A - or worse in the "close field" - rather than Class B.
