I understand the argument but the logic runs out of room pretty quickly, in my opinion, since there is also a chance for damage after shipping to the customer, does one then send someone to the end user's location to run the test again?

I don't know 'custom and practice' in USA, but I would expect that requirement to apply in Europe. There is a minute but finite probability that the insulation could be compromised in transit or within the customer's premises. The dielectric strength test is therefore applied after the *last manufacturing operation*. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
