TPD1E10B06: How to understand the current rating per IEC 61000-4-2 requirement?

Part Number: TPD1E10B06
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: STRIKE

I am looking to select a TVS to pass IEC 61000-4-2 ESD test.

The TPD1E10B06 can pass  IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 test at +/- 30KV contact and air-gap discharge. Section 6.1 also specifies "IPP Peak pulse current (tp = 8/20us) = 6A". But from a TI ESD design paper, the peak current at 8KV can be 30A (see red line in below picture. Paper: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt492/slyt492.pdf 

How to understand the current rating per IEC 61000-4-2 ESD test? If I use TPD1E10B06 in my design to do the ESD test at +/- 8KV, will the ESD gun generate +/- 8KV with 30A peak current as shown by the red line? If true, the TPD1E10B06 can be damaged because of this huge current although the voltage is only +/- 8KV.

Thank you.
