Hi Craig:
I don't have EN 60320. Instead, I am referencing IEC 60320-1, 2001, 2nd edition. Clause 16, insertion and withdrawal forces: 10 cycles. 6 specimens. In my quick perusal of the standard, I could not find that this test is conducted when energized. Clause 18, breaking capacity: 50 cycles, 275 V, 1.25 rated current. 3 specimens. I think other tests also include testing for a number of cycles, although I did not study the standard carefully. If you need more info, I suggest you get a copy of the family of standards.
