In your classification, does class 1 devices provide ant kind of wear leveling ? If yes how ? By renumbering the virtual mapping ?

Of course, they all do wear leveling. This type just picks a new physical erase block every time the user starts writing to a logical erase block that is not currently open for writing. Some devices combine this with 'static' wear leveling, which also occasionally moves data from one erase block to another so that (old) physical block can be put back into rotation.
