7、ISO 17442:2012ISO 17442:2012(E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interes
8、ted in a subject for which a technical committee has been established 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. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical C
9、ommission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the techni
10、cal committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

ISO 2012 All rights reserved iiiBS ISO 17442:2012ISO 17442:2012(E)IntroductionLegal entity identification is an integrated and necessary component of
12、financial services transactions. Entering into business relationships requires “Know Your Customer” processes to be initiated and maintained for the duration of these relationships and any longer term data retention requirements to be addressed. Parties involved in financial transactions need to be
13、identified within these transactions. Then the risk of each party and the resulting concentration risk also need to be measured. All of this is to be achieved while the support for straight through processing (STP) is maintained.Following the global financial crisis, the need for regulators to ident
14、ify legal entities, both nationally and across the global markets, has been raised as a critical need. More specifically, regulators are asking for standards to be used within the solutions they are developing to address the data collection and analysis needs resulting from the crisis. This Internat
15、ional Standard fulfils the need for legal entity identification of the global financial services industry and the regulatory community. Its key provisions are that it enables unique identification globally of entities requiring a legal entity identifier (LEI), defines a LEI code that contains no emb
16、edded intelligence, defines a LEI code that is interoperable with other standards and existing reference data and can be applied globally to support the financial services industry, leverages the expertise of ISO/TC 68 in defining and maintaining identifier standards, defines a LEI scheme that is re
17、liable and a LEI code that is persistent, and defines a LEI scheme that is extensible and free from limitation on use and redistribution.iv ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 17442:2012Financial services Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the elements of an una
18、mbiguous legal entity identifier (LEI) scheme to identify the legal entities relevant to any financial transaction.The term “legal entities” includes, but is not limited to, unique parties that are legally or financially responsible for the performance of financial transactions or have the legal rig
19、ht in their jurisdiction to enter independently into legal contracts, regardless of whether they are incorporated or constituted in some other way (e.g. trust, partnership, contractual). It excludes natural persons, but includes governmental organizations and supranationals.The LEI is designed for a
20、utomated processing. It may also be conveniently used in other media interchange when appropriate (e.g. paper document exchange).NOTE Examples of eligible legal entities include, without limitation: all financial intermediaries; banks and finance companies; all entities that issue equity, debt or ot
21、her securities for other capital structures; all entities listed on an exchange; all entities that trade stock or debt, investment vehicles, including mutual funds, pension funds and alternative investment vehicles constituted as corporate entities or collective investment agreements (including umbr
22、ella funds as well as funds under an umbrella structure, hedge funds, private equity funds, etc.); all entities under the purview of a financial regulator and their affiliates, subsidiaries and holding companies; counterparties to financial transactions.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced

28、as blanks, separators or punctuation).b) Length indications: nn!: fixed length; nn: maximum length.The format of the LEI shall be 18!an2!n.The LEI consists of 20 characters decomposed as follows: characters (18!an) without separators or “special” characters; the 19th and 20th characters (2!n) shall
29、be the check digit or digits, as calculated from the scheme defined in this International Standard.5 Check digits5.1 GeneralThe check digits shall be calculated based on the scheme defined in ISO/IEC 7064 (MOD 97-10).
