I think things change too fast for that to be easy to keep up to date.
And if you are talking about assembled systems (and not individual boards)
it seems better to let the manufacturers worry about certification. Some
companies don't have much consistancy in what parts are used for their
consumer models and outsider certification would be difficult.
