In general, these are between the buyers and vendors, and it is IMO a
not-so-smart economy to leave them out. Considering the distance between
buyers and vendors and the (in)ability of buyers to exercise remote
supervision over process, though, it often turns out that rigorous
incoming QC (also shirked as too costly) is all that is left.
So long as these are more expensive than any penalties that result, or
than buying legislators and regulators (which happens) we will not see
any change.

Ed,
If the manufacturer is required to test the device then the overseeing agency
should have the right to visit the mfg lab where the testing is performed and
do an audit of the procedures, watch tests being performed and if procedures
are followed. Unscheduled visits are also to be permitted and spot checks in
the field
