Hi Dick, The requirement for using 10 to 25 Amps comes from the test house. It is their mark. If you want to use it, they can require you to do anything they want. Is it fair, no. Does the requirement make engineering sense, no (I believe that Rich Nute did an article on how this requirement did not identify anymore failures than the simple ohm meter did). Do you still have to do it, yes!
If you are just declaring conformity for the MDD, use your risk analysis (i.e. EN 1441) to show that the risk of using a ohm meter is an acceptable one. Your NB might review it, but you should be able to switch to the ohm meter.
