Q. What is a CAS Registry Number?
A. CAS Registry Numbers (often referred to as CAS RNs or CAS Numbers) are unique identifiers for chemical substances. A Registry Number itself has no inherent chemical significance but provides an unambiguous way to identify a chemical substance or molecular structure when there are many possible systematic, generic, proprietary, or trivial names.
CAS Registry Numbers are used in many other public and private databases as well as chemical inventory listings and of course are included in all CAS produced databases.
