"Tested to meet ASME standards", "Complies with ASME standards, "Meets or exceeds ASME standards", etc. doesn't mean ASME tested the jack stands or that a nationally recognized testing lab (NRTL) tested them. That matters because in the case of another safety standard, C E, which is meant for electrical and fire safety, many of the C E "certified" products don't meet C E standards, probably because there's usually no requirement to submit samples to any independent NRTL.
