CE Approved (Protective Gear)

CE approved or CE marked means a product meets the requirements for sale in the European Economic Area. For motorcycle clothing it shows the item is certified as personal protective equipment under EU Regulation 2016/425 and tested to a specific standard.

• EN 17092 – jackets, trousers and suits, classes AAA (most protective) to A, plus B and C.
• EN 1621-1 – limb armour, EN 1621-2 – back protectors, EN 1621-3 – chest protectors, level 1 or level 2 (level 2 transmits less force).
• EN 13594 – gloves, EN 13634 – boots.

Helmets are approved separately under the UN ECE 22.06 regulation. When buying, look for the label inside the garment and check that the armour itself is certified, not just a pocket for it.
