Richard,
We went through a similar issue, but with EN60950. After several exchanges of correspondence, it was agreed that the accepted factory tests was the correct requirement. In that case, it was factory hi-pot of 1 sec. The type test was 60 sec. There may be a language barrier involved here. I would suggest that you provide the Type test requirements from the standard, and the UL factory test requirements from your Section General and see what kind of response you get.

We're being told that one of the requirements is for a dielectric withstand (hi-pot) test which must be conducted for one minute at 1000 V on all mixers. Each of these mixers is already hi-pot tested for compliance with UL requirements, but UL permits a one second test at 1200 V. The one second test is favored by the plant since it saves time. Our importer claims that the one second test is not permissible, that the test must be conducted for one minute. Since we don't have copies of the standards involved, do any of you have experience with these requirements and is it true that only a one minute hi-pot test is permissible? Thanks for any information you can provide on this subject. Richard I. Pittenger Agency Approval Engineer Food Retail Div.
