Reduction of the IEC 60335-1 Class I test voltage to 1000 volts is an interesting development. Supposedly, all IEC safety standards must follow the IEC basic safety standards. The IEC 60664 series is a basic safety standard. It sets forth the requirements for solid insulation, clearances, and creepage distances, and their test voltages. 1000 volts rms is NOT the IEC 60664 voltage for Class I equipment. TC108 has been struggling to correctly apply the IEC 60664 requirements into IEC 62368 (the standard that replaces both IEC 60065 and IEC 60950-1). 1000 volts rms is NOT a Class I test voltage in the forthcoming IEC 62368.
