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.

Subject: Critical Components
Are there any IEC (or other accepted references) documents that define
what
constitutes “critical components” in terms of product safety? 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?
Doug Kramer
