Well I don't think this is strictly true. An Arai Quantum is an Arai
Quantum, whether it's sold in Sweden, UK, France, Germany or anywhere else
for that matter. I accept the fact that the requirements for a BSI Kitemark
might be higher than the relevant CE mark, but it's still the same helmet.
I don't think you need to worry about the quality brands like Arai and Shoei
suddenly making less safe helmets because they don't have to obtain BSI
Kitemarks anymore.
