CE Certification Explained

What the labels inside Clesso gear actually mean.

Every protective Clesso garment carries a CE label inside it. That label means the finished product — not just the armour — was tested by an independent notified body against a European standard. Here is how to read them.

Garments: EN 17092

EN 17092 tests the whole garment for abrasion, seam strength, tear and impact protection. It assigns a class:

  • AAA — the highest. Track and race suits (EN 17092-2).
  • AA — heavy-duty touring and adventure gear (EN 17092-3).
  • A — lighter street gear, still fully protective (EN 17092-4).
  • B / C — abrasion-only or armour-carrier garments. We do not sell these as riding gear.

Armour: EN 1621

Limb armour is tested to EN 1621-1 and back protectors to EN 1621-2. Level 2 transmits less force than Level 1 — roughly half the average force in the test.

Gloves: EN 13594

Gloves are rated Level 1 or Level 2. The letters KP mean the knuckles passed the impact test.

Boots: EN 13634

Boots get four digits — height, abrasion, cut and transverse rigidity — each scored 1 or 2. 2222 is the top score in every category.
