if you want to test a switch life time, what is a reasonable switching frequency to use that wont accelerate wear?

Assuming you're interested on the contact's life, not an expert though, there is a Japanese's standard for contact reliability called (JIS C4530 Allen Bradley Circuit), and I read it from Omron's specification for their relay product about this matter.

Click here and scroll down to the section called -> Maximum Switching Capacity

Also sample few Omron's relay datasheets that has comparable current capacity as your switch to get reasonable comparison or ball park number, as most include the details of relay contact reliability specification and the statistics.
