PREVIOUS STANDARDS & THE CE MARK
Originally the Standard was a 2 tier level of shock absorbency on a scale of 10, most commonly made were Level 5 and Level 7.
In 1995 the Standard was revised because of the legal requirements of the European Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Directive which became law on 1 July 1995. This Directive made it illegal to make any PPE which does not carry the CE Mark. The revised Standard offered considerably enhanced performance compared with previous garments. The BETA '95 Standard has now been superseded by the new BETA 2000 Standard which is a performance standard that meets all the all the requirements of EN 13158:2000, otherwise called the European Standard.
Manufacturing to the BETA 1995 Standard will cease in August 2001 and no further testing to this standard is being carried out.

Our body protectors are also made to EN13158:2000, this is the same as BETA 2000 but is not applicable to North America, however the BETA 2000 standard is.
Enligt min tolkning ska väl det betyda att en väst godkänd enligt EN 13158:2000 ska gå bra att tävla fälttävlan i (i Sverige och Europa). Men jag har inget TR tillgängligt så jag vet inte exakt hur det är formulerat där.
