Replying to my own question in part, I read online that there is a EN 1385 CE standard for paddling helmet safety standards, though this particular reviewer of paddling helmet at Kayak news and review (http://boaterinformation.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=82) and another source says it's a very weak standard. Given that variety of designs and the fact that only a few brands advertised that their wares conform to this standard, I suspect that this is not a universal standard adhered to rigourously unlike the strict adherence to EN12277 for sports climbing helmets for example. Thanks for the information and advice provided by all thus far, those were really helpful!
