List Numbers
ECHA also applies the EC number format to what it calls "List numbers". The number are assigned by when a substance is pre-registered or inquired about under the REACH Regulation. They are not official because they have not been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The number of these two categories is open ended, as substances are continually being added.
| Scope | Format |
|---|---|
| Automatically assigned, e.g. to pre-registrations of substances with a CAS No. | 6xx-xxx-x |
| Assigned to substances after inquiries by the ECHA Substance ID Team | 7xx-xxx-x |
| Automatically assigned, e.g. to pre-registrations without a CAS No. or other numerical identifier (including reaction masses of more than one substance) | 9xx-xxx-x |

Famous quotes containing the words list and/or numbers:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
