Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study (Lambert CE, 1993), 0.1 g of yttrium oxide (purity unknown) was instilled into the left eye of New Zealand Albino rabbits (6 animals). 3 treated eyes were rinsed after 30 seconds. Animals were then observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

In this study, yttrium oxide is slightly irritating to the eye, but not classified according to EU criteria.

This eye irritation study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for an eyes irritation study (OPPTS 870.2400) in the rabbit
