Yes they are legit and yes their cams have been tested. They hold up to their ratings (in the tests I have seen). But one only knows how well their quality control is. Don’t go cheep, get some Camalots.
Anyway a UIAA cert doesn’t mean shit with trad gear as far as strength goes. A cam only needs to hold 5 kN to get the UIAA stamp and some trad gear that only holds 2 kN can still get the UIAA stamp if they list the gear as progression or aid equipment.
