Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising liquids
- Type of information:
- calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 18 June 2010
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fourth Revised Edition
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Sample tested:
- test mixture as specified
- Parameter:
- other: oxidising
- Remarks on result:
- other: negative
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Considering the structural environment of oxygen in the molecule and the substantially negative oxygen balance of -223.73% of benzyl acetate (CAS: 140-11-4), it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that benzyl acetate (CAS: 140-11-4) is unlikely to be an oxidizer and will be incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials. Therefore it need not be tested experimentally for oxidizing properties (according toUN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fourth Revised Edition).
- Executive summary:
Considering the structural environment of oxygen in the molecule and the substantially negative oxygen balance of -223.73% of benzyl acetate (CAS: 140-11-4), it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that benzyl acetate (CAS: 140-11-4) is unlikely to be an oxidizer and will be incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials. Therefore it need not be tested experimentally for oxidizing properties (according toUN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fourth Revised Edition).
- Endpoint:
- oxidising liquids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information
No functional groups are present within the molecule associated with oxidising properties as only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are present, with oxygen only bonded to carbon.
Considering the structural environment of oxygen in the molecule and the substantially negative oxygen balance of -223.73% of Benzyl Acetate (CAS: 140-11-4), it can be concluded, beyond reasonable doubt, that Benzyl Acetate (CAS: 140-11-4) is unlikely to be an oxidizer and will be incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials. It need not be tested experimentally for oxidizing properties (according to UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fourth Revised Edition).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
