  CAS FAQ Page
CAS Registry Numbers (often referred to as CAS RNs or CAS Numbers) are unique identifiers for chemical substances.
A CAS 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.

  CAS registry number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences, mixtures and alloys.
A CAS registry number is separated by hyphens into three parts, the first consisting of up to 6 digits, the second consisting of two digits, and the third consisting of a single digit serving as a check digit.
For example, the CAS number of water is 7732-18-5: the checksum is calculated as (8×1 + 1×2 + 2×3 + 3×4 + 7×5 + 7×6) = 105; 105 mod 10 = 5.

 CAS registry number - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
CAS registry number of any chemical element, compound, polymer, alloy, or other chemical substance is its unique, nine-digit identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstract Service of the American Chemical Society.
The CAS Registry has different numbers not only for different elements but also for different isotopes of the same element, and also for different isomers (including stereoisomers) of the same compound.
For example, the CAS registry number for water is 7732-18-5.

A non-CA name, a generic chemical name, a chemical synonym, a CAS Registry Number, a trade name, or the PMN, Exemption, or Bona Fide Intent notice number/ User Fee number/ TSCA Accession number of another notice is written in the chemical name obox of the notice form in place of the currently correct CA name.
The specific chemical name and corresponding CAS Registry Number (if such a number exists) for (1) each monomer or other precursor substance used to make a reported Class 2 substance, is not included in Part I, section B of the notice.
For example, if a correct CA name had to be submitted in a PMN because the notice was received at EPA on or after May 30, 1995, an amendment submission reporting a change in the chemical identity must contain a correctly revised CA name for the substance.

 EPA/OPPT/High Production Volume Challenge Program (HPV) Guidance on Searching for Chemical Information and Data
CAS Registry Numbers are preferred because they were created specifically to function as unique identifiers to help eliminate the confusion caused by the variety of synonyms that could be used for the same chemical.
Searching by CAS Registry Numbers for individual chemical substances enables one to specifically identify a substance without needing to know the particular synonym an author or database publisher may have used for the chemical.
If a database indexes studies by CAS Registry Number there will be less need to do a search by synonym, but a sponsor may want to try a variety of synonyms just to be on the safe side.
