There are other factors in this, but I won't continue rambling. :)

Yes we know it's current, a by product of voltage. In the above post Aragon mentioned the 37v threshold, and that is what rings the bell. There has to be a reason for the permitting requirement. You have to remember somebody may have wet hands, or drive through water, or something of the like.
