Its TUV listed
Anker unfortunately doesn't seem to clearly list the clamping voltage.
Their own blog post here: https://www.anker.com/blogs/hubs-...ower-strip
States clamping voltage should ideally 400 volts or less, but then people seem to think their power strips have anywhere between 400 and 1200 volts as the clamping voltage. And 1200 would mean a lot of things you might plug into a power strip would be damaged before the protection kicked in.
I do think, when products are at this low of a price point, it's understandable if they don't have "top tier" protection. If you're plugging very valuable stuff into a surge protector and you want to be extra sure it's protected, you should probably invest in something that both costs more and clearly lists the joule rating/clamping voltage ranges. 😅

What is TÜV?
TÜV, short for Technischer Überwachungsverein (German for Technical Inspection Association), represents a group of independent organizations that test, inspect, and certify various products, services, and systems. Their primary goal is to ensure the safety of technologies and prevent potential hazards.
