Does not need to have AS 1698 "approval Sticker" there are several alternative standards listed in the CAMS manual. I use a helmet purchased in USA at half the cost of equivalent Australian price and no 1698 sticker. Greed of resellers has a lot to do with the prices we pay for stuff. I am fortunate in that I do a lot of work related O/S travel and quite frankly I dont shop in Australia.
