Avoid confusion when referring to countries and their subdivisions with this standard.
What is ISO 3166?ISO 3166 is an international standard which defines codes representing names of countries and their subdivisions. The standard specifies basic guidelines for the implementation and maintenance of country and subdivisions codes. Most people refer to ISO 3166, but actually it is divided into three parts.What are the parts of ISO 3166?Part 1 establishes codes that represent the current names of countries, dependencies, and other areas of particular geopolitical interest, on the basis of country names obtained from the United Nations. Part 2 establishes codes that represent the names of the principal administrative divisions, or similar areas, of the countries and entities included in ISO 3166-1. Part 3 establishes a code that represents non-current country names, i.e. the country names deleted from ISO 3166 since its first publication in 1974, for example, Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia. There are also reserved code elements that do not represent a country but reserved for a certain use. If users need code elements to represent country names not included in the code corresponding to this document, the series of letters AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, and the series AAA to AAZ, QMA to QZZ, XAA to XZZ, and ZZA to ZZZ respectively, and the series of numbers 900 to 999 are available. Users are advised that, because these code elements are defined by themselves, they are not compatible between different entities.There is no ISO procedure for the assignment of user-assigned code elements.Who maintains ISO 3166 codes?The ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (MA) is responsible to maintain the officially assigned set of country codes and their subdivisions, which are accessible on the ISO Online Browsing Platform (OBP) at www.iso.org/obp/ The ISO 3166/MA can be contacted at: c/o International Organization for Standardization Chemin de Blandonnet 8; CP 401; 1214 Vernier, Geneva; Switzerland E-mail: [email protected]
