Can't find any busbars with ratings over 48v

I bought these busbars awhile back before doing more research since they were on sale, but I'm noticing now they say max 48V:

I see the blue-sea one has similar specs (max 48v). After googling for over an hour I can't find any that show they are rated for higher than 48v. I know in a 48v system the voltage can spike higher than 48 volts.

Can any suggest busbars rated higher than 48v? Or is this a non issue?
 
So here’s my issue with putting a voltage rating on a hunk of metal, plastic, and hardware:

All that really matters is that the insulation can withstand the voltage without arcing.
I seriously doubt a 48v-rated busbar will fail at 56v, or even 70v.

But if you want to do it by the book, get the expensive victron busbars rated 70v.
