When certifying systems with Ubuntu, we only test with the open-source graphics drivers installed by Ubuntu. If these do not work properly then we will try with the proprietary drivers. So this particular system has never been tested by us with the proprietary drivers, and it is correct to refer to it as being certified since it apparently works fine with the open-source ones. Is there a particular reason why the proprietary NVIDIA driver is desirable over nouveau for this system?
