There are no chemical groups in the molecule of isopentyl acetate which point to explosive properties. Judgement based on "Table R.7.1-28 Chemical groups associated with explosive properties" in "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance" (ECHA, May 2008).

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is regarded and classified as non explosive based on the given data in this data set and the official classification in REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (pages 547 and 1081).
The molecular structure of isopentyl acetate also points to no explosive hazard.
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.
