Japanese term or phrase: 次の各号に掲げる物質
I am translating excerpts of a law, and the word 号 comes up in a couple of places. And I would like to confirm the translation as part of the structure of a law.
Context 1: 第八十七条第一項第二号
Context 2: 次の各号に掲げる物質… (the next few portions containing this information have been omitted for brevity so I can't see what it is referring to.)
I thought it sounds strange to say "In the following numbers." Would "sections" be appropriate?

I was able to put it together from everyone's answers. I elected to use "sub-clause" when 号 is referring to something underneath a clause, and "sub-chart" when 号 is underneath a chart, etc. Thanks, everyone! Have a good weekend.

次の各号に掲げる物質
How about "Part" or "Chapter"


Explanation:
Now I understand your question is how 号 be translated, not the whole phrase 次の各号に掲げる物質.
This is interesting in that I have done lengthy legal translation, and due to the law at issue was very complicated and hightly structured, it was a part of the challenge. Since it involved 編、節、部、章、条、項 among others, it was our job as to what word be allocated to each word.
Now, when you look at the Japanese Constitution for instance, it does not go too far beyond 章 (being the largest heading)、条、項。As far as I see, I didn't recognize 号. So you might have to dig further down.
In lessor law, like contracts exchanged in daily business basis, however there would be a frequent occurrence of substructures, then we would see 号 quite often.
So in conclusion, how those options sound?

To comment on your additional question, I¥'m afraid I have any concrete answer I can give you with utter confidence. But in my guestimation, unlike official (like government-dictated laws and treaties), a legally binding contract in business setting (civilian scene I mean) we do not have to follow set category of 章、条、項、etc. I believe we just be consistent once we set the hierachical order. I think shhogg¥'s answer of clause and paragraph is also good, but to me they sound too official. On the other hand I saw many contract just itemize or classify like 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 2.1.1., and so and so forth. Hope this help you in giving you some idea.

If it is governmental law, when I took a quick look at a site such as following:
http://www.normanet.ne.jp/‾hourei/h205R/s230730h205.htm
All I see is 章、節、条。Japanese Constitution is pretty much the same. Then Constitutional counterpart the ¥"US Constitution¥" is consisted of Article, Section, and enumerations in that descending order. No name for lessor hierarchy that means there is no equivalent of 号. But ¥"Division¥", ¥"Section¥", ¥"Paragraph¥" offer definitely legitimate choice.

I don¥'t think there is any set rule on this in either Nihongo & Eigo. As for me, after long circuitous road, I would like to settle for this, which sounds like a repetition. I will make a pick (one of the above answers) and stick to it so it is consistent.
