To learn more about a substance in CAS REGISTRYSM that does not have any literature or patent references in an STN® database, consult the following fields:
- Source of Registrations (SR)
For CAS Registry Numbers® 97314-93-7 and higher, the SR field indicates the reason for first registering the substance. You can EXPAND or SEARCH the content of the SR field.
- Class Identifier (CI)
For substances registered to support CAS registration policies, the CI field may provide additional insights as to why the substance was registered.

Substances that become referenced due to REGISTRY updates
The content of the SR field reflects the reason a substance was initially registered. However, because REGISTRY is updated daily, reference information may be added for a substance that was initially registered without a reference. Here are two examples of substances initially registered from other sources. The first example does not have any associated references, while the second example is associated with a CASM/CAS References reference.
