ISO/IEC 6523 ''Information technology – Structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts'' is an
international standard that defines a structure for uniquely identifying organizations and parts thereof in computer
data interchange and specifies the registration procedure to obtain an ''International Code Designator (ICD)'' value for an identification scheme.
The standard consists of two parts:
Part 1: Identification of organization identification schemes defines a structure for the identification of organizations and parts thereof. The components of this structure are the following:
* a
International Code Designator (ICD)value
which uniquely identifies the authority which issued the code to the organization, up to 4 digits
* a
organization identifier
up to a maximum of 35 characters
* an (optional
organization part identifier (OPI)
up to a maximum of 35 characters (A
organization part
can be ''any kind of entity'' within an organization.)
* an (optional
OPI source indicator
1 digit, specifying who attributed the OPI
Part 2: Registration of organization identification schemes defines the registration procedure for ICD values. This includes:
* the requirements on th
registration authority
for ICD values.
* the specific procedures for the allocation and deletion of ICD values
* the contents of the register/list of the registered identification scheme
