Maybe I?m just not seeing the bigger picture, but to me, a component
list is a pretty poor aid to ensuring any continuing product compliance.
It's of minimal value for EMC compliance, because, as you imply, it's
practically impossible to find some part that is not 'critical'. For
safety, the situation is better; a 10k SMD resistor or 100 nF decoupling
capacitor could almost certainly fail without creating an unsafe
condition, but, for example, a failed (shorted) Y-capacitor or
opto-coupler would create an unsafe condition.
