I have this TDK cd, on the cover, it has "100% certified." what does that mean?

Sorry, but it's a sales gimmick.

Basically you could read all of http://www.cdrfaq.org/ and focus on the parts about media. You might decide it's just something to help sell the product.

You're right. Certified by who and for what purpose?

I'd skip fretting about it and use the media.

Darn I hate it when there are just too darn many questions and answers to read to find what I want to know. But that's how most of us learn about things we really want to know about.

Good Luck
