These are ratings for the equipment. It means that the piece of equipment has been tested against 350 or 800 Newtons of force without receiving any damage. Different competitions may require equipment with a certain rating. Equipment with these netwon ratings are generally preferred as competition equipment, because they have been tested and are safer and more durable.
