Won't go through the whole list, you can do that but, FAR 25 does not require that an aircraft certificated under that part have dual wheels on the main landing gear assembly (ref. 25.733) nor thrust reversers (ref. 25.933.) If equipped with a thrust reversing system the MMEL (for the DC-9, as an example, permits dispatch with the system inoperative. Ref. DC-9 MMEL item 78-1.)
Both regulations have airworthiness standards for both icing operation and engine ingestion of foreign objects.
Reference:
23.2540 Flight in icing conditions
25.1093 Induction system icing protection
23.2435 Powerplant induction and exhaust systems
25.903 Engines
Perhaps you went to a different aircraft certification and regulations class than I did.

I worked in NYC for many years for a computer company. One of our customers, Integrated Resources, bought an old department store, S.Klein at Union Square and 14th Street, and was going to make it their headquarters but they went bankrupt before they moved in. Integrated Resources owned Learjet at that time. The stories I see say that Bombardier acquired Lear in 1990 but it is not clear from whom. Integrated Resources was mainly into junk bonds and real estate.
Bombardier acquired LearJet from Integrated Acquisition in 1990 who had acquired Learjet from Gates Rubber Corporation (Gates LearJet) in 1987.
From Wikipedia: "In 1987, Gates Learjet was acquired by Integrated Acquisition and the next year the name was changed to Learjet Corporation. By January 1989, all production had been moved from the Tucson facility back to Wichita with an employment of 1,250.[7] "

Yes, I saw that. Is it clear who Integrated Acquisition is?
Go figure it out who really cares anyway ya think its a gubberment spy outfit or something?
What safety standards would those be exactly? And where does FAR 21 and 26 fit in the mix?
