    I might pull my TAFE books out here. Perhaps the method has changed over the last few years.

    I have to agree with you Timmo.

    Virtually all extension leads etc are rated at 0.6 to 1kV, therefore the correct test voltage should be 500 volts. This goes for V75/V105 PVC Building Wire as well.
