Just because two different brand helmets have the same certs, that doesn't mean that they provide the same level of protection. It also doesn't mean they have the same fit nor quality of build.
How would you judge level of protection then? I understand that off brands might not be as good but all certified helmets from well known brands have very comparable protection. It's not like you can assume $600 helmets to be 6x more protective than say a $100 helmet given the same certifications and reputable branding.
