What value does 10 insulation give?
If you are referring to the R value of insulation, then 10 would be the 'thermal resistance' value of the insulation. A value of 10 is about what 3 1/2 inches of fiberglass batt insulation would give you. That is what you might put within your exterior walls if you are using wood studs. The higher the R value the better insulation you will have. When you add up all of the R values of the materials that make up your exterior wall you will get your total value. Depending on where your building is located, and the climate in that area, you will need to adjust your insulation accordingly.
Does the 2006 International Building Code require overlapping the flaps of rolled insulation when insulating exterior walls or can the insulation be stapled to the interior of the stud?
Insulation should only be stapled on the edge of the stud. That's what the flap on the edges is for. This creates a vapor barrier and if you compress the insulation enough to staple on the sides this reduces the insulation at that point. Insulation has to be fluffed to get the benefit. It is easier, quicker and does not interfere with the sheetrock in any way.

How does double insulation protect users from electric shock?
Double insulation is a safety feature in electrical appliances where an extra layer of insulation is provided between the conductive parts and the exterior surface. This prevents direct contact between the user and any conductive parts that may become live due to a fault. If a fault occurs and the live parts touch the conductive parts, the double insulation ensures that the user is protected from electric shock by preventing the flow of electricity to the exterior surface of the appliance.
