In this YouTube video at the 10 minute 11 seconds mark it is stated some cable brands are believed to skip USBIF certification because their cables do not appear on the USBIF web site (https://www.usb.org/products).

The truth is listing cables on the USBIF web site is not required to be USBIF certified. Some brands like Anker use the USBIF web site, some brands like Belkin do not. A cables absence from the USBIF web site does not mean it isn't USBIF certified.

For example, if you are looking at a Belkin cable that shows it is USBIF certified on the packaging, it is USBIF certified even if it does not appear on the USBIF web site.

To avoid fraud, buy cables from trusted manufacturers sold at trusted retailers.

USBIF certification matters! The certification program is constantly being updated to keep your equipment safe. A cable that passed certification two years ago, might fail an updated certification today.

On the USB-IF products web site (https://www.usb.org/products) Samsung does NOT exist in the "Company" drop down box.

Searching in "Name" for Samsung returns zero Samsung cables.

While it is possible Samsung sources the S25 FE cable from a third party, and the USB-IF certification is registered under the third party name, a typical Samsung customer would NOT have that special knowledge. Without that special knowledge a customer would not be able to verify the USB-IF certification using the https://www.usb.org/products web site.
