Default JAR 22 STANDARDS

Could someone explain the logic behind the JAR 22 standards.
I just sold an L33 Blanik. Maximum pilot weight per
the manual was 283 lbs. but according to JAR 22 could
only be 242 lbs. Which is legal? Why have two different
weights? I suppose this could make sense to me if there
was a standard set to have a max pilot weight for competition,
but why set the weight at 242 lbs if the glider was
designed and suitable for someone 283 lbs? Doesn't
make any sense to me!!
