OneKey Classic 1S Wallet Passes EU REACH Certification

In the evolution of hardware wallets, the OneKey Classic 1S has not only upgraded its chip and algorithms but also reached new heights in material safety and environmental standards. As a frequently used device beloved by Web3 users, the OneKey Classic 1S has officially passed the rigorous testing of the EU REACH Regulation and obtained SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) Compliance Certification.

This certification is a solemn promise from OneKey to user health, marking that all external materials and internal components of the Classic 1S meet the EU's strictest chemical control standards, ensuring absolute safety during long-term personal use.

Part 1: What is this certification and why does the Classic 1S need it?

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is the European Union regulation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals. It is widely recognized as the most complex and strict chemical safety standard globally.

1. Guarding Safety "At Your Fingertips"

The OneKey Classic 1S is known for its lightweight body and comfortable button feedback. Users' fingers are in prolonged contact with the device casing and buttons during daily transactions and asset checks. The core purpose of REACH certification is to screen and restrict SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern) that may be carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction. Passing this certification proves that the casing materials of the Classic 1S are non-toxic and harmless, eliminating chemical allergies or chronic health risks caused by skin contact.

2. A "Green Passport" for Europe

For electronic products, REACH is a mandatory threshold for entering the European Economic Area (EEA) market. Products failing REACH tests face the risk of seizure by EU customs or mandatory removal from shelves. Obtaining this certification means the OneKey Classic 1S possesses a "Green Passport" for compliant sales in over 30 European countries, ensuring the stability of the global supply chain.

Part 2: What requirements must be met to pass this certification?

REACH certification requires a "molecular-level" disassembly analysis of the product. The OneKey Classic 1S had to pass two core compliance tests:

1. Screening for 235+ SVHC Substances

The Candidate List of SVHCs published by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) currently contains over 235 high-risk substances. Every component of the OneKey Classic 1S—from the high-strength plastic casing to the tiny solder joints on the internal PCB—underwent precise chemical testing.

• Compliance Standard: The content of any SVHC substance in the product is strictly controlled below 0.1% (w/w).
• Test Result: The Classic 1S performed excellently in tests, with no excessive high-risk substances detected, meeting the EU's environmental requirements for "Articles."

2. Annex XVII Restricted Substances Check

Beyond SVHCs, REACH Annex XVII imposes mandatory bans on certain specific hazardous substances (such as plasticizers, azo dyes, lead, cadmium, etc.). OneKey conducted specialized checks on the buttons and data cables of the Classic 1S to ensure they contain no banned environmental toxins, eliminating the harm of "environmental hormones."

Part 3: Future Outlook

The acquisition of REACH certification by the OneKey Classic 1S reflects OneKey's ultimate pursuit of product details—security is not just about preventing hacking, but also preventing toxicity.

1. Practicing ESG and Green Manufacturing

OneKey is committed to reducing the environmental burden of electronic products. In the manufacturing process of the Classic 1S, we prioritized eco-friendly and recyclable new materials, reducing chemical pollution at the source and actively practicing Corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility.

2. Quality Trusted Globally

By obtaining REACH and similar certifications like RoHS, OneKey sends a clear signal to global users: Whether in the digital world or the physical world, the OneKey Classic 1S is your most trustworthy crypto asset guardian.
