UL and similar agencies already check that plugging a device into your electrical system doesn't set something on fire. They have simple, yet strict standards that must be applied.

Likewise the FCC is very particular about radio emissions and will outright reject your product if it's too noisy.

We absolutely need something that can handle obvious problems like this, plus a way of coordinating with the vendors of these products should a vulnerability emerge that requires a patch or a recall.

That's only really recently true--just ask a ham radio guy about the noise floor if you want an earful. The FCC was pretty lax about this until this year when they finally quit accepting cross-certification from emissions labs from countries like China.
