You've omitted quite a few salient details required to properly evaluate your question. Designed for use on land? At sea? At altitude? Bare or coated board? Conformally coated? For a sea-level situation, I believe the rule-of-thumb for bare boards is .2mil/V, for a grand total of ~250mil of separation between conductors, be they tracks or otherwise. However, that's an ideal and quite likely should be modified to provide some engineering margin. What that engineering margin is best defined by one of your company's engineers. For a specific design criterion, your engineers should be able to provide the necessary information to allow you to lay out the board. Alternatively, you can perform an internet search using a phrase such as "track separation" or similar
