Information and documentation -- International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN)

ISO 15706:2002 establishes and defines a voluntary standard numbering system for the unique and international identification of audiovisual works.
An International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) identifies an audiovisual work throughout its life and is intended for use wherever precise and unique identification of an audiovisual work would be desirable. As an identifier, it may be used for various purposes, such as to assist allocation of royalties among right holders, to track the use of audiovisual works, for information retrieval and for anti-piracy purposes, such as verifying title registrations. The ISAN can also provide a basis for supplementary identification systems when version or product information is required (e.g. for applications such as broadcast automation and automated storage and retrieval systems).
An ISAN should apply to the audiovisual work itself. It should not be related to the physical medium of such an audiovisual work, or the identification of that medium.  
The issuance of an ISAN should in no way be related to any process of copyright registration, nor should the issuance of an ISAN provide evidence of the ownership of rights in an audiovisual work.

Information et documentation -- Numéro international normalisé d'oeuvre audiovisuelle (ISAN)

L'ISO 15706:2002 établit et définit un système normalisé volontaire de numérotation permettant d'identifier de manière unique, au plan international, les oeuvres audiovisuelles (telles que définies en 3.1).
Un numéro international normalisé d'oeuvre audiovisuelle (ISAN) identifie une oeuvre audiovisuelle pendant toute sa durée d'existence, et a pour but d'être utilisé lorsque l'identification précise et unique d'une oeuvre audiovisuelle est souhaitable. Ce numéro peut servir, en tant qu'identificateur, à des buts divers tels que l'aide à la répartition de droits entre plusieurs ayants droit, le suivi d'exploitation d'une oeuvre audiovisuelle, ainsi qu'à des opérations de lutte contre le piratage, comme le contrôle d'enregistrement des titres. L'ISAN peut aussi servir de base à des systèmes complémentaires d'identification en cas de nécessité de définir une version ou un produit (par exemple pour des applications de télévision automatisées ou de systèmes de stockage et de recherche automatiques).
Il convient qu'un ISAN s'applique à l'oeuvre audiovisuelle elle-même. Il est bon qu'il ne dépende pas du support physique de cette oeuvre audiovisuelle, ni de l'identification de ce support. L'annexe A présente des exemples d'oeuvres audiovisuelles pour lesquelles un ISAN peut être attribué, ainsi que des exemples d'oeuvres pour lesquelles l'ISAN ne doit pas être attribué.
Il convient que l'attribution d'un ISAN ne soit en aucun cas assimilée à un quelconque processus d'enregistrement de copyright, ni ne serve à attester la propriété de droits attachés à une oeuvre audiovisuelle.

ISO 15706:2002(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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15706 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 9, Identification and description.
Annexes A, B and C form a normative part of this International Standard. Annex D is for information only.

Introduction
The ISAN project was administered by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) in
association with the Association of International Collective Management of Audiovisual Works (AGICOA), and the
International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15706:2002(E)

Information and documentation — International Standard
Audiovisual Number (ISAN)
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes and defines a voluntary standard numbering system for the unique and
international identification of audiovisual works (as defined in 3.1).
An International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) identifies an audiovisual work throughout its life and is
intended for use wherever precise and unique identification of an audiovisual work would be desirable. As an
identifier, it may be used for various purposes, such as to assist allocation of royalties among right holders, to track
the use of audiovisual works, for information retrieval and for anti-piracy purposes, such as verifying title
registrations. The ISAN can also provide a basis for supplementary identification systems when version or product
information is required (e.g. for applications such as broadcast automation and automated storage and retrieval
systems).
An ISAN is applied to the audiovisual work itself. It is not related to the physical medium of such an audiovisual
work, or the identification of that medium. Annex A specifies examples of audiovisual works for which an ISAN may
be issued and examples of works for which ISAN are not issued.
The issuance of an ISAN is in no way related to any process of copyright registration, nor does the issuance of an
ISAN provide evidence of the ownership of rights in an audiovisual work.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
ISO 7064:1983, Data processing — Check character systems
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
audiovisual work
work consisting of a sequence of related images, with or without accompanying sound, which is intended to be
made visible as a moving image through the use of devices, regardless of the medium of initial or subsequent
fixation
3.2
check character
added character which may be used to verify the accuracy of the string through a mathematical relationship to that
string
[ISO 7064:1983]
ISO 15706:2002(E)
3.3
composite audiovisual work
audiovisual work which contains one or more other audiovisual works or parts of audiovisual works, each of which
is insubstantial in relation to the entire composite audiovisual work
EXAMPLES A feature film which contains parts of animated cartoons or other film clips; a television program that contains
footage from previously produced feature films, from episodes of television series, or from other audiovisual works.
3.4
registrant
producer of an audiovisual work, authorized proxy of such a producer, or other such entity or individual, registered
within the ISAN system for the purposes of obtaining an ISAN for audiovisual works
3.5
registration agency
agency appointed by the Registration Authority for this International Standard for the purposes of assigning ISAN to
registrants
3.6
serial audiovisual work
audiovisual work produced in individual episodes or parts which bear a relationship to each other and, usually, a
common title for the whole series
4 Construction of the ISAN
4.1 An ISAN shall consist of 16 hexadecimal digits using Arabic numerals 0 to 9 and letters A to F of the Latin
alphabet. An ISAN shall be divided into two segments consisting of a 12-digit root segment followed by a 4-digit
segment for the identification of episodes or parts of a serial audiovisual work (see A.11). A check character (see
annex B) shall be appended whenever an ISAN is presented in human-readable form.
EXAMPLE ISAN RRRR-RRRR-RRRR-EEEE-X
4.2 When the work being registered is not an episode or part of a serial audiovisual work, four zeros (0000) shall
be used as fill characters in the episode segment of the ISAN.
EXAMPLE ISAN 2B1A-FF17-3E20-0000-3
4.3 To avoid the possibility of duplication, any ISAN assigned to episodes or parts of a serial audiovisual work
shall not contain an episode segment consisting of four zeros (0000).
EXAMPLE ISAN 0123-1230-3210-2310-1
4.4 The ISAN shall be a “dumb” number (i.e., it shall not contain any codes or meaningful components apart
from the two segments specified in 4.1).
5 Issuance of an ISAN
5.1 An ISAN shall be allocated by a designated ISAN registration agency from the central register of the ISAN
system upon application by a registrant.
5.2 Each ISAN shall be issued to only one audiovisual work and each audiovisual work shall be assigned only
one ISAN.
5.3 An ISAN is permanently issued to an audiovisual work, and shall never be altered, replaced or reused.
5.4 Further specifications for the issuance and use of ISAN are provided in annex A.

ISO 15706:2002(E)
6 Affixing and displaying the ISAN
6.1 The ISAN shall be permanently incorporated in, or affixed to, the audiovisual work in all formats (digital or
analogue) and in all of the physical media in which the work is made available (e.g. celluloid film or optical disc) to
the extent that it is technically feasible to do so.
6.2 The ISAN should be included in the documentation, advertising and packaging for an audiovisual work.
6.3 When an ISAN is printed or otherwise displayed in human-readable form (e.g. on labels, physical carriers,
technical documentation, etc.), it shall be preceded by the letters ISAN and its correct check character (see
annex B) shall be added at the end of the ISAN character string.
6.4 As an aid to accurate transcription of ISAN in human-readable form, an ISAN should be presented as four
groups of four hexadecimal characters each, followed by the check character. Each of these four groups and the
check character shall be separated from each other by a hyphen or space. No internal meaning shall be ascribed
to any combination of digits within these groups.
EXAMPLES
ISAN 1881 66C7 3420 6541 9
ISAN 1881-66C7-3420-6541-9
6.5 The alphabetic characters appearing in an ISAN and in its check digit should be displayed in upper-case
letters when the ISAN is presented in human-readable form. In any machine-readable applications, the lower-case
and upper-case forms of these characters shall be treated as equivalent.
6.6 If a product number (e.g. an ISBN, a Universal Product Code, etc.) has been assigned to a particular format
in which the audiovisual work is issued, the ISAN for the work should be displayed on the container and/or
packaging immediately below and clearly distinguished from any standard number assigned to the physical
product.
6.7 Further details regarding methods of affixing ISAN to audiovisual works are explained in the users’ guide,
which is available from the International ISAN Agency and each of the ISAN registration agencies.

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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 15706:2002(E)
Introduction
The ISAN project was administered by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) in
association with the Association of International Collective Management of Audiovisual Works (AGICOA), and the
International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15706:2002(E)

Information and documentation — International Standard
Audiovisual Number (ISAN)
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes and defines a voluntary standard numbering system for the unique and
international identification of audiovisual works (as defined in 3.1).
An International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) identifies an audiovisual work throughout its life and is
intended for use wherever precise and unique identification of an audiovisual work would be desirable. As an
identifier, it may be used for various purposes, such as to assist allocation of royalties among right holders, to track
the use of audiovisual works, for information retrieval and for anti-piracy purposes, such as verifying title
registrations. The ISAN can also provide a basis for supplementary identification systems when version or product
information is required (e.g. for applications such as broadcast automation and automated storage and retrieval
systems).
An ISAN is applied to the audiovisual work itself. It is not related to the physical medium of such an audiovisual
work, or the identification of that medium. Annex A specifies examples of audiovisual works for which an ISAN may
be issued and examples of works for which ISAN are not issued.
The issuance of an ISAN is in no way related to any process of copyright registration, nor does the issuance of an
ISAN provide evidence of the ownership of rights in an audiovisual work.
2 Normative reference
The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
ISO 7064:1983, Data processing — Check character systems
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
audiovisual work
work consisting of a sequence of related images, with or without accompanying sound, which is intended to be
made visible as a moving image through the use of devices, regardless of the medium of initial or subsequent
fixation
3.2
check character
added character which may be used to verify the accuracy of the string through a mathematical relationship to that
string
[ISO 7064:1983]
ISO 15706:2002(E)
3.3
composite audiovisual work
audiovisual work which contains one or more other audiovisual works or parts of audiovisual works, each of which
is insubstantial in relation to the entire composite audiovisual work
EXAMPLES A feature film which contains parts of animated cartoons or other film clips; a television program that contains
footage from previously produced feature films, from episodes of television series, or from other audiovisual works.
3.4
registrant
producer of an audiovisual work, authorized proxy of such a producer, or other such entity or individual, registered
within the ISAN system for the purposes of obtaining an ISAN for audiovisual works
3.5
registration agency
agency appointed by the Registration Authority for this International Standard for the purposes of assigning ISAN to
registrants
3.6
serial audiovisual work
audiovisual work produced in individual episodes or parts which bear a relationship to each other and, usually, a
common title for the whole series
4 Construction of the ISAN
4.1 An ISAN shall consist of 16 hexadecimal digits using Arabic numerals 0 to 9 and letters A to F of the Latin
alphabet. An ISAN shall be divided into two segments consisting of a 12-digit root segment followed by a 4-digit
segment for the identification of episodes or parts of a serial audiovisual work (see A.11). A check character (see
annex B) shall be appended whenever an ISAN is presented in human-readable form.
EXAMPLE ISAN RRRR-RRRR-RRRR-EEEE-X
4.2 When the work being registered is not an episode or part of a serial audiovisual work, four zeros (0000) shall
be used as fill characters in the episode segment of the ISAN.
EXAMPLE ISAN 2B1A-FF17-3E20-0000-3
4.3 To avoid the possibility of duplication, any ISAN assigned to episodes or parts of a serial audiovisual work
shall not contain an episode segment consisting of four zeros (0000).
EXAMPLE ISAN 0123-1230-3210-2310-1
4.4 The ISAN shall be a “dumb” number (i.e., it shall not contain any codes or meaningful components apart
from the two segments specified in 4.1).
5 Issuance of an ISAN
5.1 An ISAN shall be allocated by a designated ISAN registration agency from the central register of the ISAN
system upon application by a registrant.
5.2 Each ISAN shall be issued to only one audiovisual work and each audiovisual work shall be assigned only
one ISAN.
5.3 An ISAN is permanently issued to an audiovisual work, and shall never be altered, replaced or reused.
5.4 Further specifications for the issuance and use of ISAN are provided in annex A.

ISO 15706:2002(E)
6 Affixing and displaying the ISAN
6.1 The ISAN shall be permanently incorporated in, or affixed to, the audiovisual work in all formats (digital or
analogue) and in all of the physical media in which the work is made available (e.g. celluloid film or optical disc) to
the extent that it is technically feasible to do so.
6.2 The ISAN should be included in the documentation, advertising and packaging for an audiovisual work.
6.3 When an ISAN is printed or otherwise displayed in human-readable form (e.g. on labels, physical carriers,
technical documentation, etc.), it shall be preceded by the letters ISAN and its correct check character (see
annex B) shall be added at the end of the ISAN character string.
6.4 As an aid to accurate transcription of ISAN in human-readable form, an ISAN should be presented as four
groups of four hexadecimal characters each, followed by the check character. Each of these four groups and the
check character shall be separated from each other by a hyphen or space. No internal meaning shall be ascribed
to any combination of digits within these groups.
EXAMPLES
ISAN 1881 66C7 3420 6541 9
ISAN 1881-66C7-3420-6541-9
6.5 The alphabetic characters appearing in an ISAN and in its check digit should be displayed in upper-case
letters when the ISAN is presented in human-readable form. In any machine-readable applications, the lower-case
and upper-case forms of these characters shall be treated as equivalent.
6.6 If a product number (e.g. an ISBN, a Universal Product Code, etc.) has been assigned to a particular format
in which the audiovisual work is issued, the ISAN for the work should be displayed on the container and/or
packaging immediately below and clearly distinguished from any standard number assigned to the physical
product.
6.7 Further details regarding methods of affixing ISAN to audiovisual works are explained in the users’ guide,
which is available from the International ISAN Agency and each of the ISAN registration agencies.
7 Administration of the ISAN system
The ISAN system shall be administered by the International ISAN Agency appointed for this purpose and by
designated ISAN registration agencies appointed by the International ISAN Agency.
The principal tasks of the International ISAN Agency and the ISAN registration agencies are specified in annex C.
8 Fees
Reasonable fees may be charged for services which ISAN agencies may provide, subject to review and approval
by the International ISAN Agency.

ISO 15706:2002(F)
Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en
liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 3.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Norme internationale peuvent faire
l'objet de droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de
ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 15706 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 46, Information et documentation, sous-comité SC 9,

Introduction
Le projet ISAN a été conduit par la Fédération Internationale des Associations des Producteurs de Films (FIAPF),
en association avec l’Association de Gestion Internationale Collective des Œuvres Audiovisuelles (AGICOA) et
avec la Confédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Auteurs et Compositeurs (CISAC).

NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 15706:2002(F)

Information et documentation — Numéro international normalisé
d'œuvre audiovisuelle (ISAN)
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale établit et définit un système normalisé volontaire de numérotation permettant
d'identifier de manière unique, au plan international, les œuvres audiovisuelles (telles que définies en 3.1).
Un Numéro international normalisé d'œuvre audiovisuelle (ISAN) identifie une œuvre audiovisuelle pendant toute
sa durée d'existence, et a pour but d'être utilisé lorsque l'identification précise et unique d'une œuvre audiovisuelle
est souhaitable. Ce numéro peut servir, en tant qu'identificateur, à des buts divers tels que l'aide à la répartition de
droits entre plusieurs ayants droit, le suivi d'exploitation d'une œuvre audiovisuelle, ainsi qu'à des opérations de
lutte contre le piratage, comme le contrôle d'enregistrement des titres. L’ISAN peut aussi servir de base à des
systèmes complémentaires d’identification en cas de nécessité de définir une version ou un produit (par exemple
pour des applications de télévision automatisées ou de systèmes de stockage et de recherche automatiques).
Un ISAN s'applique à l'œuvre audiovisuelle elle-même. Il ne dépend pas du support physique de cette œuvre
audiovisuelle, ni de l’identification de ce support. L'annexe A présente des exemples d'œuvres audiovisuelles pour
lesquelles un ISAN peut être attribué, ainsi que des exemples d'œuvres pour lesquelles l'ISAN n’est pas attribué.
L’attribution d'un ISAN n’est assimilée en aucun cas à un quelconque processus d'enregistrement de copyright, ni
ne sert à attester la propriété de droits attachés à une œuvre audiovisuelle.

4 Construction de l’ISAN
4.1 Un ISAN doit être formé de 16 chiffres hexadécimaux utilisant les chiffres arabes de 0 à 9 et les lettres A à F
de l’alphabet latin. Un ISAN doit être divisé en deux segments: une racine de douze chiffres suivie d’un segment
de quatre chiffres identifiant les épisodes ou les parties d’une œuvre audiovisuelle en série (voir article A.11). Un
caractère de contrôle (voir annexe B) doit être rajouté lorsque l’ISAN se présente sous une forme lisible par l’œil
humain.
EXEMPLE ISAN RRRR-RRRR-RRRR-EEEE-X
4.2 Quand l’œuvre enregistrée n’est ni un épisode ni une partie d’œuvre audiovisuelle en série, quatre zéros
(0000) doivent être utilisés comme caractères de remplissage dans le segment épisode de l’ISAN.
EXEMPLE ISAN 2B1A-FF17-3E20-0000-3
4.3 Afin d’éviter les risques de doublons, aucun ISAN attribué aux épisodes ou parties d’une œuvre
audiovisuelle en série ne doit contenir de segment épisode composé uniquement de quatre zéros (0000).
EXEMPLE ISAN 0123-1230-3210-2310-1

ISO 15706:2002(F)
4.4 L’ISAN doit être un numéro «muet» (en ce sens qu’il ne contient aucun élément ou code porteur de
signification, hormis les deux segments définis en 4.1).
5 Attribution d’un ISAN
5.1 Un ISAN doit être attribué depuis le registre central du système ISAN par une agence de déclaration ISAN
agréée, à la requête d’un déclarant.
5.2 À chaque ISAN ne doit correspondre qu’une seule œuvre audiovisuelle et à chaque œuvre audiovisuelle
n’est attribué qu’un seul ISAN.
5.3 Un ISAN est attribué à une œuvre audiovisuelle de manière définitive et ne doit jamais être modifié,
remplacé ni réutilisé.
5.4 Des spécifications complémentaires relatives à l'attribution et à l'usage de l'ISAN sont indiquées dans
l’annexe A.
6 Fixation et mention de l’ISAN
6.1 L'ISAN doit être de manière permanente incorporé ou fixé à l’œuvre audiovisuelle quel qu’en soit le format,
numérique ou analogique, et le support physique de mise en circulation (par exemple pellicule de film ou disque
optique) dans la mesure où cela est techniquement possible.
6.2 Il est recommandé d’inclure l’ISAN à toute documentation et publicité, ainsi qu'à tout conditionnement de
l’œuvre audiovisuelle.
6.3 Lorsqu’un ISAN est imprimé ou affiché sous une forme lisible par l’œil humain (par exemple sur des
étiquettes, des supports physiques, de la documentation technique, etc.), il doit être introduit par les lettres ISAN et
son caractère de contrôle calculé (voir annexe B) doit être ajouté à la fin de la chaîne de caractères de l’ISAN.
6.4 Pour assurer la transcription exacte de l’ISAN sous une forme lisible par l’œil humain, il convient de le
présenter en quatre ensembles de quatre caractères hexadécimaux, suivis du caractère de contrôle. Chacun de
ces quatre groupes, de même que le caractère de contrôle, doit être séparé l’un de l’autre par un espace ou un
tiret. Aucune signification intrinsèque ne doit être attachée à la combinaison des chiffres constituant chacun de ces
groupes.
EXEMPLES
ISAN 1881 66C7 3420 6541 9
ISAN 1881-66C7-3420-6541-9
6.5 Il convient que les caractères alphabétiques qui apparaissent dans ISAN et dans son caractère de contrôle
