Any other information on results incl. tables

- Deduction of boiling point: During the preliminary and main tests, no endothermic heat effect was observed; thus, preventing to deduce a boiling point.

- Appearance and weight of the test item: After both tests, the sample was still a white powder, loosing about 0.4 and 0.8% of its mass in preliminary and main tests respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Yttrium oxide does not boil under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of yttrium oxide was assessed using a thermal analysis, according to OECD Guideline 103. A test item amount of 16.82 mg was heated up from 25°C to 400°C at a rate of 20°C/min during a preliminary test. The quantities of heat absorbed or released were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimeter and recorded. In this test, no peak was observed, and the boiling point of the sample could not be deduced. The thermal analysis was repeated with 21.61 mg of test item in the same temperature range, but with the rise adjusted to 10°C/min. No endothermic reaction could be observed. In conclusion, yttrium oxide does not boil under the conditions of the test.
