TPS23861: Does EA certification involve surge testing

I received a flyer with the title "Ethernet Alliance Certified, Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing equipment (PSE)". Under that title was "Surge Protection". The main body text was headed 6 kV Lightning Surge Reference Design" and covered the TPS23861 PSE controller. As written it is implied that the EA Certification applies the the 6 kV surge. My confusion is that I understood the EA Certification list covered inter-operability, but does not cover surge, the 500 V insulation resistance test and AC power cross testing. Thus my question is if the EA testing was extended to cover the 6 kV surge testing as the standard EA test plan doesn't cover surge.
