Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be rep-
resented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as
International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in
accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the
member bodies voting.
International Standard IS0 4217 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISOfTC 68, Banking and related financial services.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (IS0 4217:1990),
of which it constitutes a minor revision.

Introduction
With the rapid expansion of information interchange on an international
basis, the need for a universally applicable code for the identification of
currencies and funds has become increasingly urgent.
No other worldwide multi-industry standard currency code exists at the
time of publication of this International Standard. It is anticipated that
industries without an existing currency code will wish to give it early
implementation whilst those with an existing currency code may find
advantages to themselves in adopting this International Standard as a
replacement for their own industry standard.
Due consideration has been given to the problems of registration and
publication of the individual codes and their implementation. This Inter-
national Standard includes basic guidelines for these functions.

Introduction
La rapide augmentation des echanges d’informations au niveau inter-
national a rendu plus urgent le besoin d’un code susceptible d’etre appli-
que universellement pour I’identification des monnaies et des types de
fonds.
Au moment de la publication de la presente Norme internationale, il
n’existe aucun autre code monnaie normalise valable pour plusieurs
secteurs economiques et d’application mondiale. II est envisage que les
secteurs economiques ne possedant pas actuellement de code monnaie
souhaiteront mettre prochainement en application la presente Norme
internationale, tandis que ceux qui en possedent deja un trouveront des
avantages en adoptant la presente Norme internationale pour la substituer
a leur propre norme sectorielle.
Les problemes souleves par I’enregistrement et la publication des codes
individuels, ainsi que par leur application, ont ete largement pris en consi-
deration. La presente Norme internationale comprend la procedure corres-
pondante applicable a cet egard.

The ISO 4217:1995 standard serves a pivotal role in the global financial landscape by outlining a comprehensive system for the representation of currencies and funds through standardized codes. With its structured approach, ISO 4217 introduces a three-letter alphabetic code and a corresponding three-digit numeric code for each currency, which significantly enhances clarity and consistency in international economic transactions. One of the strengths of ISO 4217:1995 lies in its ability to provide a universal reference that transcends linguistic and regional barriers. By establishing a uniform coding system, it facilitates seamless communication and reduces the potential for confusion in currency identification, particularly in international trade and finance. The standard ensures that users, whether they are financial institutions, businesses, or individuals, have a reliable way to represent currency, which is critical for activities such as currency conversion, data processing, and accounting. The relevance of ISO 4217:1995 extends beyond simple currency representation; it plays an essential role in the digital economy and e-commerce by allowing for the automated handling of transactions across different systems and platforms. The standard contributes to the integrity of financial data and enhances interoperability between various financial software and databases, thereby streamlining operations for businesses engaged in global commerce. Overall, ISO 4217:1995 stands out for its clarity, practicality, and widespread applicability in an increasingly interconnected world, reinforcing its position as a vital resource for the representation of currencies and funds.

ISO 4217:1995는 통화 및 자산의 표현을 위한 코드에 대한 표준을 제정한 문서로, 세 글자로 구성된 알파벳 코드와 이에 상응하는 세 자리 숫자 코드의 구조를 상세히 설명합니다. 이 표준은 자금 거래 및 국제 상업에서의 통화 식별을 명확히 하는 데 필수적이며, 통화의 정확한 표현을 보장함으로써 데이터의 일관성을 유지합니다. ISO 4217:1995의 가장 큰 강점은 바로 그 포괄적인 범위에 있습니다. 다양한 국가의 통화뿐만 아니라 비공식적인 자산들도 포괄하여, 금융 기관과 기업들이 국제 거래를 수행하는 데 있어 혼란을 최소화하는 역할을 합니다. 명확한 코드 체계는 특히 글로벌 경제에서 환율 변동 및 자금 흐름을 관리하는 데 중요합니다. 이 표준은 또한 기술적 진보에 발맞춰 지속적으로 업데이트가 이루어질 필요성이 있는 점에서 그 관련성을 더욱 강조합니다. 국제적인 무역과 금융의 복잡성이 증가함에 따라 ISO 4217:1995는 통화 코드의 표준화를 통해 경제적 투명성을 높이고, 다양한 시스템 간의 원활한 통합을 지원합니다. 적절한 통화 코드 사용은 국제 상업에서의 의사소통을 통일하게 만들어, 오류를 줄이고 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있는 매우 중요한 요소입니다. 따라서 ISO 4217:1995는 단순한 코드 집합을 넘어 금융 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 데 기여하는 중요한 표준입니다.

ISO 4217:1995は、通貨と資金の表現のためのコードに関する国際規格であり、その重要性は金融業界において極めて高いです。この標準は、通貨及び資金の識別を容易にするために、三文字のアルファベットコードとそれに対応する三桁の数字コードの構造を詳述しています。 この文書の強みの一つは、標準化されたコードを提供することで、異なる国や地域間での金融取引を円滑にし、混乱を避ける助けとなる点です。特に、ISO 4217:1995はこれまでの第四版を置き換え、より堅実な基盤を提供しています。これにより、利用者はコードを一貫して適用できるため、国際的な金融取引や会計処理の精度が向上します。 また、この規格は、通貨コードが国際的に認知されていることから、貿易や投資の場面でも信頼性が高いことから、幅広い適用性を持っています。ISO 4217:1995は、金融機関や企業が国際的な基準に則して操作するための基本的なガイドラインとして機能し、規模を問わず多くのビジネスにとって不可欠な要素となっています。 全体として、ISO 4217:1995は通貨と資金の表現における標準化を強化し、世界中の経済活動を支える重要な役割を果たしています。この標準により、国際取引がさらに効率的かつ透明性を持ったものとなることが期待されます。
