Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting behaviour of ytterbium doped yttrium disilicate was assessed according to the EU A.1 method and OECD test guideline 102 in compliance with GLP using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). No melting point of the test item was recorded up to 600°C.
