Dear XRV.ORG
.. in Dummy speak.. what does CE-Level 2 and CE-Level 1 really mean? Halvarssons just came out with a CE -1 suit but i can find what this really means in terms of my survival level.... Why would they go from a CE-2 to CE1 ? They also charge less it is less safe right ? (Am i as stupid as i feel)...Why go down in value...

CE means European Conformity (Isn't that EC?). Anyways it was pushed through in the mid 80's so that the krauts could replace our old British Standards with new standards based on their old German DIN rating...! (Does that sound bitter
)
You didn't mean that though did ya...
Nope no idea... But soemthing to read here.... (The answer might well be there, but I couldn't be aresed to read it all!)

To quote Fletch link...
So basically it is useless certification...two levels of protective performance: Level 1 and Level 2. Clothing meeting the Level 1 requirements is defined as “Clothing designed to give some protection whilst having the lowest possible weight and ergonomic penalties associated with its use” whereas Level 2 clothing is said to be “Clothing providing a moderate level of protection, higher than that provided by level 1. There are, however, weight and restriction penalties in providing this level of protection”.
In practical layman’s terms, Level 1 clothing should provide adequate protection in accidents at urban speeds, not higher than 30 mph/48 kph. Level 2 clothing should provide adequate protection in higher speed accidents but may not subsequently be reusable or repairable. If even higher levels of protection are required, clothing should further meet the Level 3 requirements of the Cambridge standard or the SATRA alternative technical specification.

How do you mean 'useless certification'?
Your quote states the requirements for levels 1 & 2 certification, as tested by the Cambridge or SATRA labs.
The required codes are:
EN 1621-1 for level 1 limb protectors
EN 1621-2 for level 2 limb protectors
EN 13595 Parts 1 – 4 for garments
EN 13594 for gloves
EN 13634 for footwear
Oh, and CE stands for Conformité Européenne.
