Notes |
This coding frame is determined by the National Statistics Country Classification 2006 (NSCC), which is based on ISO 3166-1 Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries and their Subdivisions, and the United Nations' Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use. In a small number of cases, the NSCC usage differs from the usage in ISO 3166 on which the NSCC is based. Where that happens, the ISO 3166 usage is given in brackets after the preferred UK usage, to facilitate cross-reference to the international standard. For example for code KP the description is Korea (South). The text in brackets, [Korea, Republic of], is the ISO 3166 description. Information in braces is provided by HESA to clarify usage, and is not derived either from NSCC or ISO 3166 lists of short country names, for example Spain {includes Ceuta, Melilla}. XY At Sea XY 'At Sea' is included for the purpose of recording a destination in international waters, which is not recognised as the territorial waters of a listed country. It should not be used as a proxy for not known, and it is not expected that this code will be frequently used. Code XY is an NSCC code used for purposes where existing ISO-3166 codes are inappropriate. EU, XP-XX, ZZ: Obsolete Countries, Regions, Stateless, and Unknown The regional codes EU and XP to XX may be used if information is known only to this level of accuracy, in preference to using ZZ which should be a last resort. EU should be used in preference to XP if appropriate. |

Change management notes | The labels for valid entries BF 'Burkina [Burkina Faso]' and SR 'Surinam [Suriname]' have been updated to 'Burkina Faso' and 'Suriname' respectively. This follows a change in the labels used by the National Statistics Country Classification, which now align with the labels used by ISO-3166. |
