About #
ISO 3166 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines codes for the names of countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. These codes are typically two or three letters long and are used in various applications, such as international trade, customs clearance, and transportation.
The ISO 3166 standard includes three parts: #
ISO 3166-1 #
This part of the standard defines codes for the names of countries and their subdivisions. The codes for countries are two letters long, and the codes for subdivisions are three letters long.
ISO 3166-2 #
This part of the standard defines codes for the subdivisions of countries. The codes are based on the codes from ISO 3166-1 and are usually formed by adding a hyphen and a subcode.
ISO 3166-3 #
This part of the standard defines codes for countries that have been replaced or renamed. These codes are no longer in use but are retained for historical reasons.
Overall, ISO 3166 country codes provide a standardized way to refer to countries and their subdivisions in a variety of contexts. They are widely used in international trade, logistics, and other fields that require clear and unambiguous identification of countries.
