What does REACH SVHC compliance mean for the ETENWOLF L1?

REACH SVHC compliance means that the ETENWOLF L1 Mini Torch has been independently tested by a third-party laboratory and found to contain none of the 247 Substances of Very High Concern (plus 4 potential substances) on the ECHA Candidate List at or above the 0.1% (w/w) threshold. This confirms the product is safe for sale and use within the European Union and EEA markets under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

What does ND mean in the test results?

ND stands for Not Detected. It means the concentration of the tested substance in that sample group was below the laboratory reporting limit (RL), which is equal to or lower than the 0.1% (w/w) threshold set by REACH. In every group tested for the ETENWOLF L1 — metals, non-metals, electronic components, and battery — all results returned ND.

How many material components of the ETENWOLF L1 were tested?

A total of 56 individual material samples were extracted from the ETENWOLF L1 and assigned to four test groups: T01 (metals), T02 (non-metal polymers and rubbers), T03 (electronic and optical components), and T04 (battery cell). Every group passed with ND results across all 247 plus 4 candidate substances.

Does the REACH SVHC certificate for the L1 expire?

REACH test reports do not carry a fixed expiry date. However, re-testing is recommended whenever the product materials or manufacturing process changes, or when ECHA adds new substances to the Candidate List. The current report WTH25X05118919C was issued on 2025-06-06 and reflects the Candidate List applicable at that date.

Every group passed with ND results across all 247+4 candidate substances.
Does this REACH certificate expire, and when should it be renewed?: REACH test reports do not carry a fixed expiry date like some other certifications. However, re-testing is recommended whenever the product’s materials or manufacturing process changes, or when ECHA adds new substances to the Candidate List. Brands and suppliers should monitor ECHA updates regularly. The current report (WTH25X05118919C) was issued on 2025-06-06 and is based on the Candidate List applicable at that date.
