Well I for one would love to see them subjected to the rated test voltage that they claim on the probes to see if they do infact withstand it without any sign of breakdown / flashover if possible. To tell you the truth I would expect them to be capable of providing sufficient insulation to allow them to be used safely. The area that I would be dubious of is the current rating, and I'm a bit suspicious of any lead that claims 20A without some sort of time duration stated on them, even 10A is I think pushing it even on the genuine ones.
The above however does not apply in my opinion with standard leads supplied with the sub £50 meters, I would only use them 250v and less if the cable and probe are really thin like some are that I've seen.
