ISO 3166-3

ISO 3166-3 is an international standard, the leaked country code according to ISO 3166-1 standard defines and is the third part of ISO 3166.

If after 1974 states

  • In another aufgingen ( for example, the GDR into the Federal Republic of Germany )
  • Have fallen apart (for example, Czechoslovakia)
  • Changed their names ( for example, Upper Volta )

Be its abbreviation from ISO 3166-1 deleted and inserted with two additional letters in ISO 3166-3. Here are the first two letters represent the original country code from ISO 3166-1 and the last two letters of the new country code from ISO 3166-1. If there is no clear successor to the original country, are the last two letters HH. In the case of Serbia and Montenegro, which as a state had the initials CS, 2006 CSXX instead CSHH was established because CSHH has already been used for the former Czechoslovakia.

Examples:

  • The German Democratic Republic ( DD) joined the Federal Republic of Germany (DE), thus ending their existence. Thus, in ISO 3166-3 is the country code of the German Democratic Republic DDDE.
  • Czechoslovakia ( CS) split into the Czech Republic ( CZ) and the Slovak Republic ( SK). Thus reads in ISO 3166-3, the country code of Czechoslovakia CSHH.
  • Upper Volta ( HV) changed their name in Burkina Faso (BF ). Thus, in ISO 3166-3 is the country code for Upper Volta HVBF.

In databases with historical (mostly statistical ) information valid entries can be made by appropriate changes of the invalid keys again. The original coding is understandable, and the current assignment (CS as CSHH or CSXX? ) Is clearly again.

Outdated ISO 3166-1 alpha -2 codes

The list of leaked two letter ISO 3166 country code. Many of the shortcuts have been replaced prior to the introduction of the domain name system, so they were never used as top-level domains. For each symbol, the year of replacement is indicated.

Leaking codes could be awarded in accordance with current practice, after five years, as happened with AI, CS, GE, and SK. But since they are now become much more durable by Internet domains ( for example, as part of further valid e- mail address), will not do it considering a re currently.
