Hi Gert, The boards you mention are supposed to comply with the requirements. and probably are.
How do you expect them to pass ESD test ? The rationale (in my opinion) is to select any point where (during normal use) ESD can probably happen and have any effect. If the board has not case, but is intended to be installed in some case (like PC extension boards) then during normal use ESD can attack only the case and such board should be tested installed. If the board is expected to be used without the case then ESD can attack any point accessible for human fingers.
