Koturnar umboða lond, sjálvstýrandi øki og serstøk øki av landafrøðiligum áhuga. Tær eru tær mest nýttu av landakotunum frá ISO (hinar eru alpha-3 og numeric), og verða tær m.a. nýttar til internetdomeni hjá londum og økjum við fáum undantøkum. Koturnar vórðu á fyrsta sinni innførdar sum partur av standardinum ISO 3166 í fyrstu útgávuni í 1974.

User-assigned code elements


User-assigned code elements are codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries, territories, or other geographical entities to their in-house application of ISO 3166-1, and the ISO 3166/MA will never use these codes in the updating process of the standard. The following alpha-2 codes can be user-assigned: AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ. For example:
 UN/LOCODE assigns XZ to represent installations in international waters.
 The Unicode Common Locale Data Repository assigns QO to represent Outlying Oceania (a multi-territory region containing Antarctica, Bouvet Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the French Southern Territories, and the United States Minor Outlying Islands), QU to represent the European Union, and ZZ to represent "Unknown or Invalid Territory".
 The code XK is being used by the European Commission,http://ec.europa.eu/budget/inforeuro/index.cfm?fuseaction=about&Language=en Switzerland, the Deutsche Bundesbank, SWIFT,SWIFT: IBAN Registry, Release 50, September 2014 and other organizations as a temporary country code for Kosovo.
 The code XN is being used by the World Intellectual Property Organization as an indicator for the Nordic Patent Institute, an international organization common to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Reserved code elements
Reserved code elements are codes which have become obsolete, or are required in order to enable a particular user application of the standard but do not qualify for inclusion in ISO 3166-1. To avoid transitional application problems and to aid users who require specific additional code elements for the functioning of their coding systems, the ISO 3166/MA, when justified, reserves these codes which it undertakes not to use for other than specified purposes during a limited or indeterminate period of time. The reserved alpha-2 codes can be divided into the following four categories: exceptional reservations, transitional reservations, indeterminate reservations, and codes currently agreed not to use.

Exceptional reservations
Exceptionally reserved code elements are codes reserved at the request of national ISO member bodies, governments and international organizations, which are required in order to support a particular application, as specified by the requesting body and limited to such use; any further use of such code elements is subject to approval by the ISO 3166/MA. The following alpha-2 codes are currently exceptionally reserved:

 Code Area name or country name ccTLD Notes AC  Ascension Island  .ac  Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area CP  Clipperton Island  —  Reserved on request of ITU for location of certain telecommunications installations DG  Diego Garcia  —  Reserved on request of ITU for location of certain telecommunications installations EA  Ceuta, Melilla  —  Reserved on request of WCO for area not covered by European Union Customs arrangements Part of Spanish North Africa (Spanish: ) EU  European Union  .eu  Reserved on request of ISO 4217/MA for the European monetary unit Euro Extended for ISO 6166 "Securities – International securities identification numbering system (ISIN)" in March 1998 Extended for any application needing to represent the name European Union in August 1999 EZ  Eurozone  —  Reserved on request of ISO 6166/RA for the European OTC derivatives within International securities identification numbering system (ISIN) FX  France, Metropolitan  —  Reserved on request of France Officially assigned before deleted from ISO 3166-1 (now assigned ISO 3166-3 code FXFR) IC  Canary Islands  —  Reserved on request of WCO for area not covered by European Union Customs arrangements. Code taken from name in Spanish:  SU  USSR  .su  From June 2008; Transitionally reserved from September 1992 Officially assigned before deleted from ISO 3166-1 (now assigned ISO 3166-3 code SUHH) Official name: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (common name: Soviet Union) TA  Tristan da Cunha  —  Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area UK  United Kingdom  .uk  Reserved on request of the United Kingdom lest UK be used for any other country Also used by the European Commission United Kingdom is officially assigned the alpha-2 code GB UN  United Nations  —  Reserved directly by ISO 3166/MA for the United Nations

The following alpha-2 codes were previously exceptionally reserved, but are now officially assigned:

 Code Area name or country name Notes AX  Åland  Reserved on request of Finland GG  Guernsey  Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area IM  Isle of Man  Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area JE  Jersey  Reserved on request of UPU for stamp issuing area

Transitional reservations
Transitional reserved code elements are codes reserved after their deletion from ISO 3166-1. These codes may be used only during a transitional period of at least five years while new code elements that may have replaced them are taken into use. These codes may be reassigned by the ISO 3166/MA after the expiration of the transitional period. The following alpha-2 codes are currently transitionally reserved:

 Code Formerly used country name Date of reservation ccTLD   Notes AN  Netherlands Antilles  2010-12      ANHH  BU  Burma  1989-12  —  —  BUMM  CS  Serbia and Montenegro  2006-09      CSXX  Code taken from name in Serbian:  .yu was the ccTLD of Serbia and Montenegro, as name was changed from Yugoslavia (YU) CS previously represented Czechoslovakia (.cs never assigned to Serbia and Montenegro) NT  Neutral Zone  1993-07  —  —  NTHH  SF  Finland  1995-09  —  —  —  Previously used in international postal codes and vehicle registration codes to represent Finland (code was not officially assigned) Code taken from name in Finnish and Swedish combined:   Finland is officially assigned the alpha-2 code FI TP  East Timor  2002-05  .tp    TPTL  Code taken from previous ISO country name: Portuguese Timor YU  Yugoslavia  2003-07  .yu    YUCS  Code used for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before 1992 and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia after 1992 ZR  Zaire  1997-07  .zr  —  ZRCD 

The following alpha-2 code was previously transitionally reserved, but was later reassigned to another country as its official code:

 Code Formerly used country name Date of reservation ccTLD   Notes CS  Czechoslovakia  1993-06  .cs  —  CSHH  Code reassigned to Serbia and Montenegro

For each deleted alpha-2 code, an entry for the corresponding former country name is included in ISO 3166-3. Each entry is assigned a four-letter alphabetic code, where the first two letters are the deleted alpha-2 code.

Indeterminate reservations
Indeterminately reserved code elements are codes used to designate road vehicles under the 1949 and 1968 United Nations Conventions on Road Traffic but differing from those contained in ISO 3166-1. These code elements are expected eventually to be either eliminated or replaced by code elements within ISO 3166-1. In the meantime, the ISO 3166/MA has reserved such code elements for an indeterminate period. Any use beyond the application of the two Conventions is discouraged and will not be approved by the ISO 3166/MA. Moreover, these codes may be reassigned by the ISO 3166/MA at any time. The following alpha-2 codes are currently indeterminately reserved:

 Code Area name or country name Notes DY  Benin Code notified to United Nations Secretary-General under 1949 and/or 1968 Road Traffic Conventions EW  Estonia  FL  Liechtenstein Code in use for road transport purposes, but not notified to United Nations Secretary-General under 1949 Road Traffic Convention JA  Jamaica Code under 1949 Road Traffic Convention LF  Libya Fezzan  PI  Philippines  RA  Argentina  RB  Bolivia [cf. Botswana: identical code element]  RB  Botswana [cf. Bolivia: identical code element]  RC  China  RH  Haiti  RI  Indonesia  RL  Lebanon  RM  Madagascar  RN  Niger Code under 1968 Road Traffic Convention RP  Philippines  WG  Grenada  WL  Saint Lucia  WV  Saint Vincent  YV  Venezuela 

The following alpha-2 codes were previously indeterminately reserved, but have been reassigned to another country as its official code:

 Code Area name or country name Notes Code reassigned to LT  Libya Tripoli  Lithuania ME  Western Sahara  Montenegro RU  Burundi  Russian Federation

 Notes

Codes currently agreed not to use
In addition, the ISO 3166/MA will not use the following alpha-2 codes at the present stage, as they are used for international intellectual property organizations in WIPO Standard ST.3:

 Code Organization name AP  African Regional Industrial Property Organization BX  Benelux Trademarks and Design Offices EF  Union of Countries under the European Community Patent Convention EM  European Trademark Office EP  European Patent Organization (Union of countries under the European Patent Convention) EV  Eurasian Patent Organization GC  Patent Office of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) IB  International Bureau of WIPO OA  African Intellectual Property Organization WO  World Intellectual Property Organization

WIPO Standard ST.3 actually uses EA, instead of EV, to represent the Eurasian Patent Organization. However, EA was already exceptionally reserved by the ISO 3166/MA to represent Ceuta and Melilla for customs purposes. The ISO 3166/MA proposed in 1995 that EV be used by WIPO to represent the Eurasian Patent Organization; however, this request was not honoured by WIPO.

For each deleted alpha-2 code, an entry for the corresponding former country name is included in ISO 3166-3. Each entry is assigned a four-letter alphabetic code, where the first two letters are the deleted alpha-2 code.
