But....

DMC: "there is no requirement to mark gloves used for that purpose with the CE mark"

Lozzo: "To anyone reading that it would appear that CE approval is not given to motorcycle gloves"

...No.

I read that exactly as Dave posted it, there is no requirement to mark gloves as CE. I don't conclude from that there there is no such thing as a CE marked glove. Just as there's no requirement to have a helmet with an ACU gold sticker, that doesn't mean you can't get one. There's no requirement for a new car to have ABS brakes.
I can see your point Ralph, but there are a fair few posters here who don't think like you or I. That passage takes some reading to fully understand it, and most people would skim it and think what I posted. It's not very well written and misleading as well as being obviously designed to make me look like I don't know what I'm on about.
