ISO 3166-2:IS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main article: ISO 3166-2
ISO 3166-2:IS is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Iceland (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is IS).
Currently 9 regions are assigned codes (including the capital Reykjavík even though it is part of the Greater Reykjavík Area). Each code starts with IS-, followed by a digit, which is the Statistics Iceland code of the region, whose assignment is based on the following:
- 0–1: Reykjavík and the Greater Reykjavík Area
- 2–8: ordered clockwise starting from Suðurnes
