Hi Cecil:
The definition of “routine test” (in IEC 62368-1, Ed. 4) includes the phrase “…each individual device…” In my opinion, this phrase rules out anything less than 100% tests. 3.3.6.17 routine test test to which each individual device is subjected during or after manufacture to ascertain whether it complies with certain criteria Of course, if your product is certified, you can negotiate with the certifier.
