What are Country Codes?
ISO, the International Organization for Standardisation, brings global experts together to agree on the best way of doing things – for anything from making a product to managing a process. As one of the oldest non-governmental international organizations, ISO has enabled trade and cooperation between people and companies all over the world since 1946. The International Standards published by ISO serve to make lives easier, safer and better.
ISO country codes are part of the ISO 3166 standard, which provides internationally recognised alphanumeric codes for countries and their subdivisions.
