The following doesn't directly address the issue of product robustness, but I'll pass it along anyway. My company makes power supplies for use in medical equipment, and some of our customers test to IEC60601-2-24 (safety & EMC for medical infusion pumps). This standard requires 15kV air discharges. Because I only have a few pages from IEC60601-2-24:1998, I don't know the pass/fail criteria.
