Brian, Be sure you are not imposing tests on yourself that are not required. You may protect against accessible parts becoming live under single fault in one of three ways. Try looking at your product as if you are using double insulation (6.5.2) rather than protective bonding. If you can meet the requirements for 6.5.2 then having grounded enclosure panels and the like is just icing on the cake, and not a compliance point you have to test.
