I'll bet the Takata airbags were inspected by certified employees. Certification does not guarantee safety. The problem with Takata airbags wasn't due to their condition at the time of manufacture, but instead their condition years later after absorbing moisture.

Often times a certification is a guarantee that something costs more, and little else.
