Minimum values of insulation resistance

Wombat
What is the science behind the 1 MOhm minimum insulation resistance? What is the basis for this particular value?

    We can rule out a minimum insulation test result value below which a RCD will trip, because a load has to be applied before it will trip, no load no trip and then it depends on the current draw of the load.
