That being said, as many others have said here, talk to the LRI. Though we on CD can debate back and forth for ages on what is/isn't an acceptable level of resistance, our decisions carry no weight. You should never cite a post on CD when talking to officials about rules.
As I said, our frame has a little over 1 megaohm to both leads -- it is not completely isolated, nor does it have to be. I was trying to point out that voltage means nothing, it's about resistance.
