I have seen approval stickers removed so as not to detract from the paint scheme. And the "clean" look.

(6) In proceedings for an offence of breaching this clause, proof that a safety helmet worn by the defendant did not bear a standard specification mark or a registered trademark is, until the contrary is proved, sufficient evidence that the helmet was not of an approved standard.

...Who has had their helmet checked for the appropriate safety approval stickers ... ???...

I can say that when I bought my last helmet (a Shark) I couldn't find any of the stickers at all. However I trust both the Shark brand and the store I bought it from, and reputation was more important than adhesive laminated paper.

My last lid was an AGV Ti-tech, it had a label on the strap.

Shark helmets have the safety standard label sewn onto one of the straps.

I don't think many manufacturers use stickers anymore due to the ease with which they can be removed.
