So apparently this unit provides either isolation or insulation from the
input power to something else.  That sounds like a important spec that could
have bad consequences when others rely on it but it fails.  It seems to me
that a quick hi-pot test on every unit in production makes sense.  Two
minutes might be excessive, but you need some way to verify each unit is
being produced with the isolation promised.  How do you otherwise propose to
find accidental dirt or solder or whatever accross the isolation barrier?
