IEC 60335-1

13   Leakage current and electric strength at operating temperature

Protective Impedance and radio interference filters are to be disconnected 
before carrying out the tests.


I suppose they are merely checking for an obvious no-no, like using 
accessible chassis metalwork as a current carrying conductor.

However, don't radio frequency interference filters often have capacitors 
which use a metal enclosure as a common connection point?
