Retail financial services — Merchant category codes

ISO 18245:2003 defines code values used to enable the classification of merchants into specific categories based on the type of business, trade or services supplied. Values are specified only for those merchant categories that are generally expected to originate retail financial transactions. ISO 18245:2003 also establishes the procedures for a Registration and Maintenance Management Group (RMMG), which considers requests for new code values, and a Maintenance Agency (MA), which provides the administrative procedures required to maintain an up-to-date list of codes. It is not within the scope of ISO 18245:2003 to mandate the use of merchant category codes in any given situation.

ISO 18245:2003(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 18245 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 68, Banking, securities and other financial services,
Subcommittee SC 6, Retail financial services.
This first edition of ISO 18245 cancels and replaces ISO 8583:1993, which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18245:2003(E)

Retail financial services — Merchant category codes
1 Scope
This International Standard defines code values used to enable the classification of merchants into specific
categories based on the type of business, trade or services supplied. Values are specified only for those
merchant categories that are generally expected to originate retail financial transactions.
This International Standard also establishes the procedures for a Registration and Maintenance Management
Group (RMMG), which considers requests for new code values, and a Maintenance Agency (MA), which
provides the administrative procedures required to maintain an up-to-date list of codes.
It is not within the scope of this International Standard to mandate the use of merchant category codes in any
given situation.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
Maintenance Agency
MA
group responsible for carrying out the administrative duties relating to the processing of merchant category
code applications and the publication of up-to-date lists of merchant category codes
2.2
Registration and Maintenance Management Group
RMMG
group responsible for the registration of merchant category codes and the maintenance of the code value list,
which includes but is not limited to reaching a decision to approve or reject each application received from the
MA, and responding to requests for guidance regarding the submission of applications for merchant category
code additions, changes or deletions
3 Merchant category codes
Merchant category codes shall be allocated to enable the classification of merchants into specific categories
based on the type of business, trade or services supplied.
New businesses, trades or services shall be allocated a code value that is reasonable and substantially
different from other code values and that is separate and distinct from other industries. Each merchant
category code assigned or reserved for future assignment is listed in Annex A of this document. Annex A shall
be updated by the MA and updates shall be issued, at a minimum, at quarterly intervals in the event of any
addition, change or deletion of a merchant category code in the previous quarter. The MA shall announce the
availability of updates via its Internet site or other method of dissemination, and by notice to the Secretariat of
ISO/TC 68/SC 6. Each member body of the Secretariat of ISO/TC 68/SC 6 shall determine its own method of
distributing the updates to its members. Annex A shall be kept up to date by the MA and shall be issued as
required by users.

4 Application for code value additions, changes and deletions
4.1 Application procedure
An applicant shall apply to the ISO 18245 MA to request approval of a merchant category code addition,
change or deletion by completing the merchant category code application given in Annex B.
4.2 Criteria for approval of a new merchant category code
An application for a new merchant category code value may be approved by the RMMG if the following
conditions exist:
a) the merchant category is reasonable and substantially different from all other merchant categories
currently represented in the list of code values;
b) the merchant category is separate and distinct from all other industries currently represented in the list of
code values;
c) the proposal describes a merchant category or industry, and not a process;
d) the minimum annual sales volume of merchants included in the merchant category, taken as a whole, is
US$ 10 million;

category described by the code value;
b) sufficient justification for the change or deletion of an existing code value is found; and
c) the information provided in the application is truthful and complete.
A pending code value deletion shall be announced in an update at least six months prior to the official date of

5 Registration and Maintenance Management Group (RMMG)
5.1 Constitution
In order effectively to manage the contents of ISO 18245, ISO/TC 68/SC 6 has established an RMMG, which
is empowered to act on its behalf.
The RMMG shall consist of:
a) a representative of the MA, who shall be a non-voting member of the RMMG and shall be required to
attend all meetings;
b) the convenor; and
2 © ISO 2003 — All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 18245:2003(E)
c) the secretary.
In addition, each member of ISO/TC 68/SC 6 is entitled to nominate one delegate and one alternate to the
RMMG. The alternate may attend all meetings, but is entitled to vote only in the absence of the principal
delegate.
5.2 Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the RMMG shall be:
a) to act on all applications received from the MA;
b) to respond to all requests for guidance from the MA;
c) to approve the report of the MA;
d) to review annually Annex A of ISO 18245 for the purpose of assessing the continued validity and
relevance of the code values listed therein;
e) to report its activities at each meeting of ISO/TC 68/SC 6; and
f) to establish, in the normal course of work, rules for the practical application of existing principles
regulating the addition of new merchant category code values to ISO 18245.
5.3 Voting procedures
The RMMG may use a postal or electronic ballot, or a vote that takes place at a meeting, to make a decision
regarding any application that it receives.
If the application is a request for a new code value to be added to Annex A of ISO 18245, the approval by a
majority of the voting members of the RMMG is all that is required.
If the application is for a request for more than 10 code values to be added to Annex A of ISO 18245, the
unanimous approval of the RMMG (with at least five members voting) is required.
Upon the failure of the RMMG to reach a decision by means of a postal or electronic ballot, the application at
issue shall be referred to a meeting of the RMMG for a vote.
6 Maintenance Agency (MA)
6.1 Appointment
One of the members of ISO/TC 68/SC 6, or any approved body, shall be appointed to act as the MA under

a) submit to the RMMG any requests for changes to ISO 18245;
b) notify the applicant in writing as to the disposition of the application within one month of receipt of a

appropriate criteria as described in 4.2 of this document;
