Particle size distribution:
The study does not need to be conducted because the substance 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate is marketed or used in a non solid or granular form.
Vapour pressure:
Modified Grain method (Mean of Antoine and Modified Grain methods) was used to estimate the vapour pressure of the test chemical 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate using MPBPVP v1.43 of EPI SUITE.

The test chemical 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°Cpressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that test chemical 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate is not auto-flammable.
Flammability:.
The test chemical 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that test chemical is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus test chemical 3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyl isobutyrate was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
