ISO 3166 was first published in 1974. It has been modified over the years, with subsequent editions published in 1981, 1988, and 1993. Since the fifth edition, published between 1997 and 1999, the standard has been divided into three parts:
  • s'', defines codes for country and dependent area names. ISO 3166 has included alphabetical country codes since its first edition in 1974, and numeric country codes since its second edition in 1981. The country codes were first published as ISO 3166-1 in 1997. Currently, there are three different codes for each country or territory:

  • ISO 3166-2 , ''Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 2: Country subdivision code'', defines codes for the principal subdivisions of a country or dependent area. It was first published in 1998, with the following subsequent changes:

  • --- – Newsletter I-1
