The official name of the standard is ''Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 2: Country subdivision code''. It was first published in 1998. FORMAT ISO 3166-2 codes consist of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code element, the second is alphabetic or numeric and has one, two or three characters. The second part often is based on national standards. CHANGES AND EDITIONS Changes were announced in different newsletters. These mostly comprise addition of new subdivisions and spelling corrections. # # # # # # # # DECODING/ENCODING LISTS To find the ISO 3166-2 codes for each country see ISO 3166-1 , a list of countries. If you are familiar with the two-letter country codes (similar to internet country codes) you can also use the format matrix given below. Both ways would lead to articles like ISO 3166-2:XX, where XX stands for the ISO 3166-1 code, e.g. leads to the code list for Australia. FORMAT MATRIX WITH LINKS TO CODES Some of the codes are developed by ISO 3166/MA; these are copyrighted. Others are already in use in the specific countries. SEE ALSO
