The main issue is clearly a semantic/terminological one, since "double insulated" is very widely used to refer to cables which,strictly speaking, should be described as "insulated and sheathed".Double insulated isn't the same as insulated and sheathed cable
However, as regards the "strictly speaking", I've never really got to the bottom of what this is all about. For starters:
. Is it really true that the (electrical) characteristics of the material used for the sheath of 'insulated and sheathed' cables
. means that it does not qualify as 'insulation?
. Do ('strictly speaking') "double insulated" cables actually exist and, if so, why does the outer layer of insulation not
. qualify as a 'sheath'?
