Thanks, Richard, for the true facts. However, we can look at the facts another way. Since the test is passed, provided the fault does not get worse, the product remains safe. It's not an ideal situation, but it seems that something like a 100 A test would be required in order to detect a fault

Normally the specs (mm2, mOhms, screw and/or weldings)  of the GB  path is ensured by the type testing; the production ensures the reproduction of the type tested by internal production control or better, so what remains is to test for production ERRORS. Assuming that no component specs in

I don't like F.2 wording. The note suggests that the same argument as yours was put forward and there was no consensus about  the current.  Bond testing ought not to be damaging; if it is, the boding is not specified correctly.  It should also not be dangerous; in fact, it is difficult to see
