FOOTNOTES 17 ANNA - ISIN Uniform Guidelines 2018 Page 2 of 18 ISIN Guidelines 2018 1. INTRODUCTION The ISO 6166 standard describes the structure of the ISIN codes and which organizations are allowed to allocate ISIN codes to which securities. Competence on the allocation and maintenance of ISIN codes is split between NNAs and DSB, a numbering agency designed to operate on a global basis as regards the OTC derivatives. The aim of these guidelines is to obtain a uniform process among the various National Numbering Agencies for the allocation of ISIN codes under their competence. In line with the ISIN Quality Management concept, as defined by the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA, registration authority for ISO 6166), we encourage the use of the list of Operational Contacts - as indicated on ANNA web for the majority of NNAs - to ensure timely and proper allocation of ISIN codes.
