listed on or listed in

I am a bit confused about this word "listed". I have seen it used in both ways:

This document is listed on our List of Equipment.

This document is listed in our List of Equipment.

Which is correct ....on or in ? or both of them are correct

I would say that both are used. (I think I would say it is on the list.)

Good afternoon.

(1) I, too, agree that both prepositions are used here in the United States.

(2) I, too, prefer "on."

(a) For example:

I am very sorry, but I cannot let you enter. Your name is not ON the

guest list.

(3) If you ever have to use the word in a sentence, and you are not

comfortable with this situation, you could always recast your sentence:

Our List of Equipment includes/ contains/ lists this document.

Have a nice day!

I agree, though I would also normally use "on the list".

However, I did think of an example where I might use both:

I wrote all the names on a piece of paper, then I put the names in a list, alphabetically. I was amazed to find I had 205 names on the list.

Is it necessary to say listed? This document is on/in our List of Equipment.
