Therefore I am a bit confused what should we consider for determination of working voltage. Is it rated voltage (marked on the unit) or we need to consider also tolerances or even short-term voltage?

Rated voltage range should not be indicated as percentages, but as '470 V - 728 V' in accordance with IEC/EN 61293. Then it's easier to see that the working voltage for determination of clearance and creepage is at least 728 V, but may be higher, depending on how over-voltages, if they occur, are treated in the relevant safety standard.
