Armored gloves labeled “tested” means the manufacturer tested the gloves or material to its own standards. When gloves are labeled “certified,” it means the gloves were tested by a certified testing facility. These gloves may have passed specific tests, but the tests might not have been comprehensive. A CE pair of armored gloves means the gloves were tested by a certified testing facility and met (or exceeded) standards in all areas. In other words, these motorcycle gloves are the best.
