There are no "standard" tests established for knives. Kudos to you for doing it though! That tells me you are somebody who values your self-respect and reputation. All too often knifemakers simply build something that looks cool, but totally ignore who well, or poorly it functions. One of my biggest pet-peevs in knifemaking is when a maker gets all wrapped up in Rc hardness, and I can only assume that it's the old "more is better" (or in this case harder is better" mentality, and don't consider anything else.
That being said, I think it's vitally important that a knifemaker tests what they build, and more so if it's being sold. Personally, once final grinding is done, I test every blade that is going out the door. My first test is flexing the edge on a brass rod. Time and experience has taught me that if a blade passes the brass rod test, it's a pretty secure indicator that it's going to be a winner. I also use tests of cutting various materials.... the type of material(s) is dictated by the type of blade, and it's intended use(s).
You mentioned that you don't want to do destructive testing, and of course that's your choice. However, even after all my years at this, I still destruction test approx. every 10-15th blade/knife, just to assure that things are where they need to be.
I think in the end, it's going to be up to you to decided upon the specifics of how you test, the materials you use to test with, and ultimately, the results you come to expect as acceptable. The important thing is that you test, in a realistic fashion, seeking results that will give insight as to how your blades will preform in real work scenarios.
