For IEC60065 Appendix N2.1 (informative) specifies a maximum production line dielectric trip current limit of 100mA. This is considered a dielectric failure and looked at as the same as breakdown or flashover.
Hi John: IEC 60065 is dumb. A breakdown is an arc, not 100 mA, although 100 mA (which is beyond many hi-pot testers) indicates something may be wrong, not necessarily an insulation breakdown.
