General Information
Relations
Overview
ISO 9:1995/Amd 1:2024 is an International Standard from ISO (Technical Committee ISO/TC 46) that specifies rules for the transliteration of Cyrillic characters into Latin characters for Slavic and non‑Slavic languages. The document is the 1995 second edition of ISO 9 with a 2024 amendment (Amendment 1) that updates the presentation of one table heading. The standard falls under ICS 01.140.10 (Writing and transliteration) and is intended for information and documentation use.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Establishes standardized transliteration rules for converting Cyrillic-script characters into Latin-script characters for use across Slavic and non‑Slavic languages.
- Document status: Second edition from 1995 with Amendment 1 published in 2024 (ISO 9:1995/Amd 1:2024).
- Amendment detail: Clause 4, Table 1 heading was revised to read “Transliteration into Latin characters from Cyrillic characters of Slavic alphabets”, replacing a prior language-specific list. This editorial change clarifies the table’s coverage of Slavic alphabets.
- Application context: Intended for information and documentation contexts (libraries, archives, bibliographies, catalogs, databases and metadata).
- Governance and usage: Prepared under ISO/TC 46 and produced according to ISO/IEC Directives; licensed and copyright-protected by ISO.
Note: The standard text defines the formal mapping rules and tables; implementers should consult the published ISO document for exact character mappings and normative requirements.
Practical applications and users
ISO 9:1995/Amd 1:2024 is valuable wherever consistent, interoperable transliteration is needed:
- Libraries and archives: cataloguing, authority control, bibliographic records
- Publishers and editors: transliterating author names, titles, citations
- Data managers and IT systems: search indexing, metadata exchange, database normalization
- Mapping and geospatial services: standardizing place names for international use
- Government and legal bodies: official documents, passports, registries where Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration is required
Adopting ISO 9 helps ensure consistent representation of Cyrillic names and terms across systems, improving discoverability, data exchange, and multilingual interoperability.
Related standards and guidance
- Prepared by ISO/TC 46 (Information and documentation); consult ISO/IEC Directives for editorial and maintenance procedures.
- Implementers commonly align ISO 9 with national transliteration guidelines and other metadata/cataloguing standards to meet local and sector‑specific needs.
Keywords: ISO 9, transliteration, Cyrillic to Latin, Slavic alphabets, ISO 9:1995/Amd 1:2024, transliteration standard, bibliographic transliteration, metadata.
