Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
Reliable results were obtained from a guideline study performed according GLP.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance Triglyme itself has no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 method A14. and in the sense of the EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OPPTS 830.6316.
However, due to the fact that ether functional groups are present in the molecule it is assumed that the substance is capable of forming peroxides during storage for longer periods. It is known that primary and secondary ethers with a CH group next to the ether oxygen form peroxides. The reaction requires oxygen (e. g. from air) and is accelerated by light or metal catalysts. Resulting peroxides can be explosive. Therefore classification according to DSD with R19 (May form explosive peroxides) is warranted. This corresponds with additional labelling requirements according to GHS (CLP supplemental hazard statement): EUH019: May form explosive peroxides.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
