FOREWORD
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (ISO Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through ISO Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee, International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 3166 was drawn up by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 46, Documentation, and circulated to the Member Bodies in January 1974.
It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries :
Australia
Germany
Norway
Austria
Hungary
Poland
Belgium
India
Spain
Brazil
Iran
Sweden
Canada

Codes for the representation of names of countries
The need for a universally applicable code for the
repr esentation of names of countries has become
increasingly urgent. An effort has been made to incorporate
into this code system the best elements of existing widely
used codes, while not being bound by any one of them. The
resulting code system has been derived largely from the
vehicle designations established under the Convention on
Road Traffic, and other codes.
The Basic principle used in developing these alphabetic
codes d two-letter and a three-letter code - was to
achieve maximum visual association value, and they are
mainly based on the English language but also partly
derived from the French and other languages,
Due consideration has been given to the problems of
maintenance of the codes and their implementation. This
International Standard includes basic guidelines for these
functions.
3.1 This list includes entities intended to satisfy the
requirements of the broadest possible range of applications.
The entities appearing in sections one and two of this
International Standard are based on the list included in the
"Country Nomenclature for Statistical Use" established by
the Statistical Office of the United Nations. 1 I
3.2 In order to satisfy various interchange requirements,
the list contains overlaps and the entities listed are not
mutually exclusive.
3.3 Whenever required, entities are explained by
references or notes.
3.4 Entities listed are intended to reflect current status.
Historical status is not reflected in this International
Standard.
1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
This International Standard provides a two-letter and a
three-letter alphabetic code for representing the names of
countries, dependencies, and other areas of special
geopolitical interest for purposes of international
exchange, and general directions for their maintenance.
The designations "countries, dependencies, and other areas
of special geopolitical interest" employed herein do not
imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever concerning
the legal status of any country or territory or of its
authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers.
This International Standard is intended for use in any
application requiring the expression of entities in coded
form.
For the purposes of this International Standard, the
following definition applies :
entity : The name of a country, dependency, or other area
of special geopolitical interest.
4.1 Section one of this International Standard contains
the entity list and a two-letter alphabetic code (ISO alpha-2
country code), designed for general purposes and
recommended for international exchange.
4.2 For such special instances where a three-letter
alphabetic code would be of particular advantage, such a
code (ISO alpha-3 country code) is provided in section two
of this International Standard.
A maintenance agency will be entrusted with the following
functions :
1 To add and to eliminate entities and assign codes as
needed in accordance with the rules provided.

2 To advise users regarding applications of the codes.
3 To update and disseminate lists of entities, codes and
their definitions.
4 To maintain a reference list of all country codes used
and their period of use.
5 To establish, in normal course of work, after
consultation with an advisory panel; additional rules for
the practical application of the principles for assigning
codes.
made to the maintenance agency. An actual exchange
requirement is considered appropriate justification for the
inclusion of new entities. The agency will include these, as
appropriately determined, notify the requestor of decisions
made and promulgate changes or revisions.
The series of letters AA, XA to XZ, and ZZ, and the series
AAA to AAZ, XAA to XZZ and ZZA to ZZZ- respectively,
are available for private use, and for provisional codes
which should be recorded as soon as possible by the
maintenance agency. An existing alpha-1 code which is in
agreement with the first letter of the alpha-2 code may be
used for an appropriate time to be fixed by the agency.
7.1 Implementation
In the development of this International Standard,
information exchange requirements were a significant
factor. Existing well-recognized code systems were also
taken into consideration. However, this International
Standard is not identical in coverage or coding to any
existing system. Implementation of this International
Standard is desired as early as possible in order to facilitate
information transfer.
In order to serve their specific purposes, users may need to
derive subsets and definitions for their applications.
7.3 User-assigned codes
When additional entities are required, an application
indicating the actual exchange requirement should be
Users should notify the maintenance agency of their use of
this International Standard, in order that they may be
informed of future changes or actions. For this purpose, a
copy of the user's implementation document or code list
shall be transmitted to the maintenance agency.
7.5 Information exchange
When the list and codes derived from this International
Standard are user-defined, it is essential that all
interchanging parties be informed of exact definitions
relating to their codes.
7.6 Convorslon from existing codes
For those having difficulties in determining the best
possible application of this code, the maintenance agency
may be of assistance.
