They don't do this for software companies whatsoever, and they aren't equipped to.
I agree that control systems engineers need oversight, but they largely already have it via far more specialized an appropriate channels.
I don't want some giant generic engineering regulatory body trying to oversee elevator control software at the same time as autopilot systems for commercial jets. The current regulatory bodies that specialize in those specific complex systems as well as the software, hardware and human components that affect them seems far more effective. Let a bunch of elevator nerds make sure we don't die in elevators.
