At least for 60950-1, this should be considered a multiple fault; unless the
intended end-use installation indicates a "mechanical" situation where all
vents blocked could be considered a SFC.

I am not aware of any National Differences that would allow this test
condition. If UL is acting as an NCB, there might be a CTL decision that would
indicate otherwise.

Subject: Blocked ventillation testing 

I have been requested by UL-HongKong to the blocked 
ventillation abnormal testing with all vents on all side 
blocked simultaneously. My previous experience has been that 
one side is blocked at a time. Blocking more than one side at 
a time was considered multiple faults. If it passes blocking 
all vents at once shortens test time, but is this method 
necessary? 

What is the experience of others?
