17、O 6166:2013ISO 6166:2013(E) Introduction With the rapid expansion of the international securities business, there is a need for a universally applicable international securities identification number (ISIN). No worldwide numbering system existed at the time of the publication of the first edition of
18、 this International Standard. Countries with a developed securities business identified issues of securities by means of code numbers, which are without any significance outside the country concerned. Securities of the same issue are identified by means of different numbers in the country where they
19、 are physically held and/or booked. As a result, the national numbers may not be applicable in cross-border transactions. Because of its strong rationalization effect, an internationally applicable numbering system substantially facilitates and supports international securities business. Such a syst
20、em is provided by this International Standard. Since the publication of the first edition of this International Standard, the Registration Authority (RA) relies on the work of national numbering agencies (NNAs) which play an integral role in this rationalization effort and in the implementation of t
21、his International Standard. In preparing this International Standard, care has been taken to conserve the national systems to the maximum possible extent, not only because of the good routine and valuable experience collected in this field but also to facilitate the adoption of the worldwide system.
22、 Moreover, it is aimed at creating a system which is easy to apply internationally and at establishing an information network which ensures that the required information can be obtained worldwide immediately.

24、 minimum descriptive data (see Annex B). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the
25、 referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 3166 (all parts), Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions ISO 4217, Codes for the representation of currencies and funds ISO 10962, Securities and related financial instruments Classification of financial
26、instruments (CFI code) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 fungible equivalent, substitutable, interchangeable, and not individualized Note 1 to entry: A fungible financial instrument ranks pari passu in all respects with a differ
27、ent version of the same financial instrument and can be exchanged into the other version and vice versa at any time. 3.2 ISIN international securities identification number alphanumeric code which uniquely identifies a specific security or other financial instrument 3.3 ISIN record record which uniq
28、uely identifies a specific security or other financial instrument and consists of the ISIN and the minimum descriptive data elements Note 1 to entry: For the minimum descriptive data elements, see Annex B. 3.4 ISIN guidelines internal document developed and maintained by the Registration Authority t

31、mplete list of ISIN prefixes); b) the basic number, which is nine characters (alphanumeric) in length. Where the existing national number consists of nine characters, this number may be used; where the existing national number consists of fewer than nine characters, this also may be used, but zeros
32、shall be inserted in front of the national number. Where a national check digit exists, it shall be regarded as part of the basic number within the nine characters; c) a check digit, computed using the modulus 10 “double-add-double” formula as specified in Annex C. 4.2 Financial instruments for whic
33、h the ISIN is allocated At a minimum, the ISIN is allocated to financial instruments (see Annex A) identified in ISO 10962 with the following principles. a) Equities, debt instruments, entitlements, and structured productsThe ISIN is allocated when the financial instrument is negotiable. b) Derivati
34、vesThe ISIN is allocated to those instruments that are traded in their own right, regardless of whether or not the underlying instrument may have been assigned an ISIN. c) Referential instrumentsThe ISIN is allocated to these entities, which are not financial instruments, when they are underlying or
35、 reference assets to financial instruments. d) Others (combined instruments, other assets)For the group “combined instruments”, the ISIN is allocated when they are traded. The group “other assets (insurance policies, real estate deeds, etc.)” may be identified by an ISIN. 5 Registration Authority (R
