Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical Standardization.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

International Standard ISO 8532 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 68, Banking and related financial services, Subcommittee SC 4, Securities.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8532:1986), of which it constitutes a technical revision.

Introduction

The widespread application of automated data processing (ADP) has led to a growing need to record and transmit the certificate numbers of securities using electronic media.

Automated processing of these numbers requires that their format be defined and standardized at international level.

This International Standard takes into account the great variety of security and certificate numbers already in existence. The structure of the certificate numbers of future security issues are, however, governed by ISO 9019.

1 Scope

This International Standard specifies the format required for the transmission on electronic media of certificate numbers to other organizations or establishments (for example as part of a securities message, in accordance with ISO 7775).

This International Standard is applicable to all types of securities regardless of issuer or country of issuance.
