Most manufacturers recommend replacing a motorcycle helmet every five to seven years even without a crash, since the internal materials that absorb impact degrade slowly with heat, sweat and UV exposure. The shell can look fine while the protective layer underneath has already lost some of its effectiveness.
The trade off is scale. A workshop like this will never produce helmets as fast as a large factory, and that is treated as acceptable, http://racist.wiki/index.php/How_To_Care_For_A_Leather_Trimmed_Motorcycle_Helmet since the aim is a considered, well finished helmet rather than the fastest one to market.

Certification is not a formality. It is the baseline that separates a genuine protective helmet from something that only looks the part. Any helmet worth wearing on the road should carry a current, verifiable certification.
A helmet workshop in London works on a smaller scale than a mass production line, and that shapes almost everything about how a helmet gets made. Materials are chosen and checked by hand, shells are shaped and finished in small batches, and problems are caught by people who see every stage, not just a sensor on a line.
