RNAV1 does not constitute approval for RNAV2 or any other RNAV specification.
1.2.5.3.2 Because specific performance requirements are defined for each navigation specification, an aircraft approved for an RNP specification is not automatically approved for all RNAV specifications. Similarly, an aircraft approved for an RNP or RNAV specification having a stringent accuracy requirement (e.g. RNP 0.3 specification) is not automatically approved for a navigation specification having a less stringent accuracy requirement (e.g. RNP 4).

In the US., certification for RNAV 1 does indeed permit operations in RNAV 2 airspace. (AC 90-100A) This is supposedly harmonized with ICAO.
RNAV 1 = accuracy of +/- 1.0 n.m. 95% of the time.
RNAV 2 = accuracy of +/- 2.0 n.m. 95 % of the time.

From ICAO DOC 9613:
3.3.2.3 Following the successful completion of the above steps, an RNAV 1 and/or RNAV 2 operational approval, Letter of Authorization or appropriate operations specification (Ops Spec), if required, should then be issued by the State. (empasis added)

and/or
So the specification is defined in the approval.
My quote is from the same doc.
RNAV 1 approval alone does not constitute RNAV 2 approval.
edit:
The specific differences between RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 approval is the use of Flight director or AP which MUst be used for RNAV 1 but not for RNAV 2 which may be flown using just a deviation display.
