Doug – I think the answer lies with the NRTL that you use to obtain your CB scheme approval. They will perform an evaluation of you product to some standard and from that derive the parts that will be determined as critical.

What drives calling out a part on a “critical components” list? I would contend that it is any component of a system where the removal or substitution could change the compliance of the product relative to the applicable safety standard. Any thoughts?
