Insulation properties of heat shrink, and tape

[haptism]

Have question thats been on my mind for a while. Does anyone know if; at 250 -500 v, a single layer of heat shrink, or a single layer of insulation tape for that matter, covering a bare conductor, sufficient insulation against ?? direct contact/a shock ?

It seems a bit thin in comparison to to the outer sheathing of singles/flex. I could conduct a test with IR test but thought to ask the forum. Obviously a single layer of insulating tape is not the norm but this is in the name of science so go easy.

Obviously will never have been near any testing to prove its effectiveness.

Or it’s ability to stay stuck (even to itself) for more than 10 hours.

Need a flash tester to test it properly.

Don’t get a flash tester, get a cheap and cheerful one.
