Zimbabwe 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-3 codes can be user-assigned: to , to , to , and to .
Examples The following codes are used in ISO/IEC 7501-1 for special
machine-readable passports: • is used to represent the
Sovereign Military Order of Malta • , a single character, is used for
Germany. • is used for
Interpol travel documents • is used to represent a
stateless person, as defined in Article 1 of the
1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons • is used to represent a
refugee, as defined in Article 1 of the 1951
Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees as amended by the 1967 Protocol • is used to represent a refugee, other than as defined above • is used to represent a person of unspecified nationality
NATO STANAG 1059 INT is built upon ISO alpha-3 codes, but also defines alpha-2 codes incompatible with ISO 3166-1. It introduces several private use codes for fictional countries and organizational entities: NATO also continues to use reserved codes for continents: is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 equivalent user-assigned code element for Kosovo in the European Union, and is used in the Unicode standard.
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-3 codes are divided into the following three categories:
exceptional reservations,
transitional reservations, and
indeterminate reservations. •
Serbia and Montenegro From September 2006 •
East Timor From May 2002 •
Yugoslavia From July 2003 •
Zaire From July 1997
Indeterminate reservations Indeterminately reserved code elements are reserved for use in a particular way, usually due to their presence in other coding systems. For example, several codes are reserved because they are used for international
intellectual property organizations in
WIPO Standard ST.3. The following
codes used to designate road vehicles are indeterminately reserved under the 1949 and
1968 United Nations Conventions on Road Traffic: •

Barbados (current code ) •
