How to check if airbag is fake ?

Hello,
i bought a retrofit steering wheel for my C43 with a new airbag.
I asked professional to instal it and most of them stress it’s a security element and they don’t want to touch it especially if the customer provide the parts.
It started to make me doubt about the authenticity of my airbag.
Is there a way to check it’s legit ?
thank you

nothing
install it, drive into something at high speed and see if it deploys...? sorry about the dumb joke but why did you replace it? is it not separated from the steering wheel?

actually it’s a retrofit of a more recent steering wheel with a custom carbon structure

I have also purchased an upgraded aftermarket AMG steering wheel. I plan on installing it myself. I would assume that if the airbag is fake, it would create a fault code with an airbag light.
