The NRTL insist on short-circuiting the single 560R current limiting
resistor and I am unable to find any evidence that thick-film or
thin-film surface mount resistors can fail short-circuit as they appear
to fail open-circuit
They are citing the standard, which doesn't have an exception for not
shorting SM resistors. It's probably too late to take them into account
in 60950-1, but this should be considered for 62489-1, if it hasn't been
already. Will the resistor manufacturers give assurances that S/C
failures do not occur?
