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?
Well, no, because even the most militant safety freak realises that's
impracticable. The test is done at the last sensible opportunity.
There were problems with this in the past. Some manufacturers shipped
products into Europe without (plug-in) mains leads, expecting that the
correct one for the country could be added by their agent. But that was
classed as a 'manufacturing operation', calling for the safety tests to
be performed, and of course the agents usually were not equipped or
trained to do that.
