BS6658-85 is the British Standard for crash helmets. Any helmet meeting this is legal for road use on a motorcycle. The standard is divided into three categories: Type A/FR (red label) for helmets with a fire-resistant lining, Type A (blue label) for high-performance helmets and Type B (green label) for lower-rated helmets. ECE is the Economic Community of Europe approval system. ECE 22-05 is also road-legal for bikers in the UK, but the older and less stringent ECE 22-04 standard is not. Depends which yours is, therefore.
