2 what? inches, degrees, gigabits????
curvature is normally designated as a radius length, so I don't understand the maximum error of 2 or 200%
my guess is it's a ratio between the two curvatures. If one curvature is more than twice as large (small?) as the other, than CATIA indicates a maximum (worst case) situation. But, if the curvatures are the same, then there is a ratio of 1:1 (100%).
Can any mathmaticians or surfacing experts explain how CATIA is calculating this?

from the online doc I found that this value is :
|C1-C2| / ( |C1+C2| / 2 ) no unit a ratio
When curvature have same orientation it works well, but when inverted then result is 200% no matter what. (Which i think is not good.)
