I'd call that an advertising claim. Real specifications for this are 
quantities like the Transfer Impedance, which is the ratio between the 
differential voltage inside the coax as a result of current on the 
outside of the coax. That ratio varies a LOT as a function of 
frequency.  The lower the value of that transfer impedance, the better 
the shielding.  The lower limit on the transfer impedance is the 
resistance of the shield.
