The work of preparing International St
11、andards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested 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
12、 take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In
13、 particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directivesAttention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of th

17、e 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 this International Standard. Countries with a developed securities busi
18、ness 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 are physically held and/or booked. As a result, the national numbers ma
19、y 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 system is provided by this International Standard. Since the publication of t
20、he 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 this International Standard.In preparing this International Standard, care
21、 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. Moreover, it is aimed at creating a system which is easy to apply interna
22、tionally and at establishing an information network which ensures that the required information can be obtained worldwide immediately.

30、of the following:a) a prefix using the alpha-2 country code specified in ISO 3166, a prefix “XS” as specified in Annex A, or other prefixes (refer to the Registration Authority website for a complete list of ISIN prefixes);b) the basic number, which is nine characters (alphanumeric) in length. Where
31、 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 shall be inserted in front of the national number. Where a national check digit exists, it shall be regarded
32、 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 which the ISIN is allocatedAt a minimum, the ISIN is allocated to financial instruments (see Annex A) identified i
33、n ISO 10962 with the following principles.a) Equities, debt instruments, entitlements, and structured productsThe ISIN is allocated when the financial instrument is negotiable.b) DerivativesThe ISIN is allocated to those instruments that are traded in their own right, regardless of whether or not th
34、e 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 reference assets to financial instruments.d) Others (combined instruments, other assets)For the group “combined i
35、nstruments”, 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 (RA)5.1 Name and contact details of the RAThe name and contact details of the organization acting as RA for this Inter
