That is outside of original manufacture.
Applying 1.5KV ac or even 3KV between tied (live and neutral) to earth and
pass level of leakage maximum of 3mA.
I would assume leakage between primary and secondary would be extremely
common and fatal to any circuitry further down line. Highly dangerous to
operative as well no doubt.



I do a fair bit of schools and local authority ( care homes etc ) equipment
work, and when all of this flash testing started a few years ago, I saw many
items for repair that had such things as faulty system control micros, and a
recently dated test label. I never thought that this type of test was
appropriate for this type of equipment in the first place, for the sorts of
reasons that you cite.

I guess that this has also now been decided by those responsible for doing
the tests, as I have not seen any such problems recently.
