Document Overview
This page presents the findings of REACH SVHC Test Report WTH25X05114736C, issued on 2025-08-14 by Waltek Testing Group (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. The report was prepared in accordance with European Commission Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), specifically to assess the presence of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) as maintained on the ECHA Candidate List.
The scope of testing covered 250 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) plus 1 potential Substance from the ECHA Candidate List. The test conclusion confirms that all assessed substances were detected at concentrations less than 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) across all submitted sample groups, meaning the product is fully compliant with REACH SVHC requirements at the time of testing.

Standards & Compliance
The REACH SVHC assessment for the L2 was conducted using a combination of in-house analytical methods cross-referenced to internationally recognised standard test procedures. The analytical workflow followed the sequence: sampling → sample pre-treatment by acid digestion and solvent extraction → instrumental analysis → data evaluation.

| EC No 1907/2006 (REACH), Article 57 & 59 | Regulatory framework defining SVHC identification and notification obligations |
Under REACH Article 7, notification to ECHA is required when an SVHC is present above 0.1% w/w and the total quantity across all articles exceeds one tonne per producer or importer per year. As all results for the L2 were ND (below 0.1% w/w), no notification obligation is triggered by this test result.

| Validity Note | This report reflects the ECHA Candidate List as it stood at the time of testing. The Candidate List is updated periodically; re-evaluation may be required when new SVHC substances are added. |
REACH SVHC compliance is an ongoing obligation. The ECHA Candidate List is updated twice yearly. Brands are advised to monitor ECHA updates and commission supplementary testing whenever new substances are added that may be relevant to the product’s material composition.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does REACH SVHC compliance mean for the L2 Tactical Flashlight?
-
REACH SVHC compliance means that the ETENWOLF L2 Tactical Flashlight has been independently tested and confirmed to contain none of the 250 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) listed on the ECHA Candidate List at concentrations at or above the 0.1% weight-by-weight threshold. All 55 material samples returned ND (Not Detected) results across all four test groups, confirming the product is safe for sale within the European Union and EEA under the REACH regulation.
- Which substances were tested, and how were they selected?
-
The test covered all 250 SVHC substances plus 1 potential substance present on the ECHA Candidate List at the time of testing. These substances are identified by the European Chemicals Agency because they have properties that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic to reproduction (CMR), persistent/bioaccumulative/toxic (PBT), or of equivalent concern. The selection is determined by EU regulation EC No 1907/2006 (REACH), not by the manufacturer.
- How many individual material samples were tested for the L2?
-
A total of 55 individual material samples were extracted from the L2 and divided into four test groups: T01 (metal components), T02 (nonmetal/polymer components), T03 (electronic and PCB components), and T04 (battery cell). This granular, component-level approach ensures that even minor material constituents are assessed individually, providing robust compliance coverage across the entire product.
- Does this REACH report need to be updated in the future?
-
Yes. The ECHA Candidate List is updated approximately twice per year. Report WTH25X05114736C reflects the list as it stood up to August 2025. If ECHA adds new SVHC substances that could be present in the materials used in the L2, a supplementary test should be commissioned to maintain up-to-date compliance documentation and meet ongoing EU supply chain disclosure obligations.
