It's not a question of accuracy, because the definition of class rating makes it impossible to prove through benchmarks that a card achieves a certain class rating. Determining the class rating requires knowledge of the internal working of the card and the builtin controller.

and is there any possibility that the card can perform even lower than it's said benchmark?

Sure. Random IO will drop any card to 32-64kbyte/s or so. Sandisk cards do best at that, in my experience, and Kingston (and clones) do worst.
