There's a good summary of this whole process on the relevant Wikipedia
pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_Assurance_Level
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Criteria

Actually digging into the details will put you to sleep fast, the specs
are available at
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2489/Ittf_Home/PubliclyAvailableStandards.htm

To figure out how to map the EAL levels into what's acually tested, you
need to look at the table at the end of ISO/IEC 15408-3:2005. That serves
as a sort of index of what you need to pay attention to in the other
documentation.
