National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 7812-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 17, Identification cards and related devices. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7812:1987), which has been technically revised. ISO/IEC 7812 consists of the following parts, under the general title Identification cards Identification of issuers: Part 1: Numbering system; Part 2: Application and registration procedures. Annex B forms an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 7812. Annex A is for information only.

At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO/IEC 7812 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below.

It identifies the major industry of the card issuer 3.9 registration authority the Registration Authority is appointed by the ISO Council and is a qualified and internationally responsible organization. The Registration Authority is responsible for assigning IINs and maintaining the ISO register of card issuer identification numbers 3.10 registration management group (RMG) a group established by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17 to act on its behalf in managing the administration of the register of card issuer identification numbers Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Wed Nov 15 05:26:11 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI ISO/IEC 7812-1:1993 (E) 2 © BSI 03-1999 4 Numbering system 4.1 General The identification number on an identification card, (the maximum length of which is defined in ISO 7811-3), is made up of two main components. These are: a) the IIN (see 4.2); and b) the individual account identification (see 4.3). (See Figure 1 for number format.) This International Standard is concerned primarily with the first of these components, the IIN. 4.2 IIN All Issuer Identification Numbers (IINs) issued in accordance with this part of ISO/IEC 7812 shall be applied for and registered as described in ISO/IEC 7812-2. The IIN is made up of 2 elements (see Figure 1) a) the MII (see 4.2.1); and b) the issuer identifier (see 4.2.6). Applicants whose applications fulfill the criteria for approval described in ISO/IEC 7812-2 will be assigned a six digit IIN or, in the case of a block assignment, a block of 6 digit IINs. 4.2.1 MII There are ten single-digit MIIs as follows: 0 for assignment by ISO/TC 68 and for other future industry assignments 1 airlines 2 airlines and other future industry assignments 3 travel and entertainment 4 banking/financial 5 banking/financial 6 merchandizing and banking 7 petroleum 8 telecommunications and other future industry assignments 9 for assignment by national standards bodies New industry assignments shall be approved by the RMG. The MII does not in any way reflect or limit the application in which the card is usable. Single digit MIIs are assigned using the applicants description of their main area of business on the application form (see Annex A of ISO/IEC 7812-2). 4.2.2 Numbers beginning with “00” Ten thousand numbers in the range “00” have been allocated to ISO/TC 68 for assignment to institutions other than card issuers in order to accommodate requirements in ISO 8583. 4.2.3 Numbers beginning with “59” IINs beginning with “59” are issued by financial institutions and not by the Registration Authority under ISO/IEC 7812. Numbers prefixed by “59” are used with, and identify the presence of, a national system of financial institution identification. They have no fixed length and do not appear on the ISO register of card issuer identification numbers. 4.2.4 Numbers beginning with “89” IINs beginning with “89” are used on cards issued by telecommunications administrations and recognized private operating agencies in accordance with CCITT Recommendation E.118. These IINs are maintained by the International Telecommunication Union. 4.2.5 Major Industry Identifier 9 (MII 9) MII 9 has been assigned to national standards bodies for national use; it shall be presented as the primary or first digit followed by the three digit numeric country code as sp
