In the US, you're required to do that if you fly it IFR. The requirement
is to be able to climb at 50 ft/min to 5,000ft or the MEA, whichever is
greater, with the critical engine inoperative. That can be a problem for
many light twins, and the payload has to be cut back considerably,
depending on the temperature, of course.
Note, this isn't a certification requirement, it's an operational
requirement, and only IFR.
