NUTS [edit]

Main article: NUTS of Switzerland

As a member of the EFTA, Switzerland is included in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). The three NUTS levels are:

The seven NUTS-2 Regions are the following:

Code Region Region (local name) Cantons
CH01 Lake Geneva region Région lémanique Vaud, Valais, Geneva
CH02 Espace Mittelland Espace Mittelland Berne, Fribourg, Solothurn, Neuchâtel, Jura
CH03 Northwestern Switzerland Nordwestschweiz Basel-City, Basel-Country, Aargau
CH04 Zurich Zürich Zurich
CH05 Eastern Switzerland Ostschweiz Glarus, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden, St. Gallen, Grisons, Thurgau
CH06 Central Switzerland Zentralschweiz Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Zug
CH07 Ticino Ticino Ticino

Below the NUTS levels, there are two LAU levels (LAU-1: districts; LAU-2: municipalities).

Cantons [edit]

The abbreviations are widely used, e.g. on car license plates and as disambiguator for localities on postal addresses if two localities in different cantons have the same name.

The ISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland start with the prefix "CH-", e.g. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz.

The FIPS region codes of Switzerland were used by the United States government. This standard was withdrawn in 2008.

The NUTS codes of Switzerland were used by the European Union.
