These are ion the same ISM frequency as microwave ovens (2450 mHz as I
recall). Satellite radio is the closest licensed service that may be
affected. A part 15/ISM device may not cause interference to a
licensed service.
Part 18 covers a whole series of bands, mostly HF and Microwave, and
a pretty much blanket use of LF. (For LF, the important part is how
much crud you put back into the powerline). For HF, the bands are
6.78 MHz +/- 15 kHz,
13.56 MHz +/- 7 kHz,
27.12 MHz +/- 163 Khz. (Yup, Citizens Band)
It's got my favorite line that I've found so far in the regs.
18.306a "ISM equipment operating on a frequency specified in (paragraph)
18.301 is permitted unlimited radiated energy in the band specified for
that frequency". (You're not allowed to modulate any information on it,
though).
