Peter, May be mistaken, but I don't think "Tape" is mentioned specifically anywhere in the code. What kind of splices do you have in mind? Not wirenuts I hope? One of my pet peeves, sorry.
I don't have my 2008 Codebook handy. 2005 NEC Article 110.14(B) requires, "All splices and joints and the free ends of conductors shall be covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors or with an insulating device identified for the purpose." IMHO it would be unwise to use anything other than a UL listed Tape. Scotch brand 33+ is an amazing product. More expensive than most others, but worth it. Insulating Split Bolts or require lots of tape to build thickness? Use UL Listed rubber tape as well. The devil is in the details here. Some "tricks of the trade" apply.
