Has UL changed its requirements for Class I SPDs? Device does not meet expected 330V forward voltage rating

Has UL changed its requirements for Class I SPDs? This device does not have the expected forward voltage of 330V. According to the specs molded into the bottom of this device, the forward voltage for the LN is 400V. Every source I see online lists the following for UL 1449. Class I = 330V; Class II = 400V; Class III 500VRevains 12-Output Surge Protector, B07GPF72BZ, also lists Class I in its manual. However, unlike this unit, it clearly shows 330V for LN (Hot Line/Neutral) if you look at the specs on the bottom of this unit. We send them back and get real Class I devices.

Pros
