FAA have (or had) such a good record, that other regulators, like EASA, simply trusted a FAA certification. In the same way, FAA trusts an EASA certification for an Airbus plane.

Bilateral certification agreements. Canada and U.S. have one as well (it goes both ways): https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/int-baa-usa.... It's good in theory (cutting down on a giant amount of repeat work), as long as both certifying bodies maintain their standards and don't get politicized.
