having re-read the question my answer is:
not aware of standards specifically for in-rush of switches, but for safety recognition purposes most power switch makers seek approvals by National Labs like UL, BSI. Electrical Switch standards: UL20; 98; 1054; 1087; 1429; 1558 That spec includes the maximum power expressed as a combination of volts and amps. The switch had to go through flammability and withstand voltage tests to get the approval. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
