> requires an instruction booklet with a list of replacements and compatible parts

I appreciate this but it doesn't seem like it belongs in a certification about calmness per se. Even annoying tech should be clear about the extent to which parts are replaceable.

This is the danger with certifications: Making the certification too broad, causes very few things to be certified. Very few things being certified, means nobody knows why the certification matters.

In my mind, repairability, "calmness," accessibility - it's all separate.

Think of calm as the opposite of surprised. As in, wow I'm surprised this computer has a proprietary soldered on SSD I can't replace! I am no longer calm!
