I've always understood that if an unsleeved plug is fitted, it can be left alone. However, if it is removed from the cable for some reason, it can't be re-fitted, and a sleeved one must be installed instead.

Based on what, I have no idea!

If I was working on equipment for others to handle and use, I would replace the plug (with a new one) as part of the work.
