What is CE?
"Conformité Européenne"
-
Motorcycle gloves are tested for various protective qualities, including impact protection (knuckle protector models), abrasion resistance, seam and tear strength and cuff restraint
-
The relevant European standard for motorcycle gloves is EN 13594:2015. This standard defines the testing methods and criteria for gloves intended for motorcyclists.
For gloves to obtain CE, stringent tests for impact protection (knuckle protector models), abrasion resistance, seam and tear strength, cuff restraint, dexterity, and chemical safety, including compliance with restrictions on harmful substances. These assessments ensure our gloves offer customers safety, quality, and peace of mind.
-
Certified gloves will carry the CE marking on the label, indicating compliance with the relevant safety standards.
The marking is often accompanied by additional information, such as the protection level and the standard number (e.g., EN 13594:2015).
-
In the EU, CE certification is mandatory for motorcycle gloves sold as protective gear. It is a legal requirement to ensure the safety and protection of riders.
-
CE-certified motorcycle gloves ensure that they meet specific European safety standards designed to protect riders in the event of a crash or fall.
Riders should look for the CE marking when purchasing gloves to ensure they are investing in a product that meets recognised safety standards.
