Craft Magical Arms and Armor has this:
Creating magic armor has a special prerequisite: The creator's caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus of the armor.
However, as most are aware, there's also this:
Note that all items have prerequisites in their descriptions. These prerequisites must be met for the item to be created. Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item's creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed). The DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory.
I am interpreting this as "The CL for Crafting Weapons/Arms is 3 x Enhancement Bonus, and there is a prerequisite that the caster be at that level. If the caster is not, the prerequisite can be ignored with a +5 to the DC". Is this correct? I also believe the DC to craft would then be 5 + 5 (ignoring prerequisite) + (3 x Enhancement Bonus).
