Really?
I thought primary - earthed chassis (Brian didn't said that the
chassis is earthed, but I guess so) can have basic insulation,
but primary - SELV should have double or reinforced insulation
unless it is protected with other method such as earthed screen
or protective bonding.

The clause said that components "which are NOT INVOLVED in the test"
may be disconnected, but it seems the Y-caps ARE involved in the test.
Isn't it?
