I'm primarily looking for the safety related components.

Guidelines can only be so general that they probably don't help you at your stage. Instead you need to develop further the skill of detecting safety-critical parts in each product. Look at each part and think 'How can it fail? What if it does (for each way it can fail)?

I should have added, but I'm sure you know, is that a failure that does not make the product unsafe is of no significance for compliance with safety standards and regulations, even if the resulting damage makes the product unusable and unrepairable.
