So after talking with a gear manufacturer in Europe I was able to get some specs on the actual requirements for tear and seam strength for the different grades of CE certified gear. I've attached below. For the metrically challenged among us, The seam strength requirements for AAA gear is about 68lbs/inch and the tear strength min requirements are 11lbs. 11lbs seems pretty low, but then I realize they start with an already damaged sample and see how hard it is to tear. Hope this helps when you go hunting for your next piece of kit.
