I believe this is relatively new thinking on the subject. Materials
simply differ to much for a 'blanket' requirement to be valid. Consider
what voltage 0.4 mm of PET film will withstand, compared with 0.4 mm of
PVC.

I suppose these are standards that have not yet been revised to take in
the new thinking.
