• Police Motorcycle Leather Suits are classified as personal protective equipment - (PPE).
• They are issued to police officers as clothing to lessen the severity of accident damage whilst performing their duty at work.
• All proper PPE has to meet with a European Directive which has health and safety implications too.
• An industry recognised standard has been accepted as a measure of motorcycle leathers - which when applied will allow for CE Mark conformity for the entire suit, not just the padding!
• The Cambridge Standard, developed in conjunction with the industry and it's manufacturers is the only such measure available at present.
• If motorcycle leathers and their body armour offer protection of any form, and claimed to do so by it's manufacturer, it cannot escape the need for CE Mark conformity.
• This will mean the entire garment and not just it's protectors inside!

A new Health and Safety Act passed in 1997, no longer allows for police exemption and as a Professional User, CE Approved clothing is seen as mandatory.
