It doesn’t really specify the risk though, the parts may not be critical. I would hope regulations require independent certification for critical parts, but I’m scared to look.

Sometimes non-critical parts can cause a disaster though, as in Swissair 111, where arcing in the in-flight entertainment system led to a fire that quickly doomed the plane.
