Just found out most dry suits are tested at 20 feet not 200

I was reading through the HSE diving equipment standards last night and saw the test pressure for a dry suit is only 10 psi. That's about 20 feet of water. I always assumed they were tested to the full depth rating. Makes me wonder how many suits are actually water tight at 100 feet plus. Has anyone else noticed leaks showing up deeper than they expected?

Makes you wonder what else is tested to the minimum instead of the real world.
