Scope of the proposed deliverable
This document focuses on assigning and maintaining addresses that allow the unambiguous determination of an object in the physical world for purposes of identification and location in the context of public administration and public service delivery. During assignment an address is first associated with a particular object in the physical world. During maintenance the address changes, e.g., it is re-assigned to a different object, one or more of the address components are modified (e.g. a street name change), or the address is retired when it is no longer used. This document
— establishes an overall set of objectives for assigning and maintaining addresses;
— specifies the principles for assigning and maintaining addresses;
— specifies a good practice for assigning and maintaining addresses; and
— specifies a governance framework for assigning and maintaining addresses;
Very often local governments (e.g. municipalities) are assigned the mandate for the planning, implementation, evaluation, and ongoing maintenance of addresses, and they are often supported by other organizations, such as national government, private sector companies and national or regional organizations. This document is of relevance and applicable to all these organizations who have an interest, role or responsibility in address assignment and maintenance, such as
— developing legislation, policies or regulations for addressing;
— facilitating and coordinating the naming of address components (the constituent parts of an address) and announcing and communicating these names;
— installing address component signs in the physical world;
— designing and implementing business processes related to address assignment and maintenance;
— designing, implementing and maintaining access to address data;
— developing software to facilitate the above; and
— using addresses.

ISO/DIS 19160-2:2022(E)
Introduction
An address is structured information that allows the unambiguous determination of an object for
purposes of identification and location (ISO 19160-1:2015). The objects exist in the physical world
(i.e., virtual objects are excluded) and can be outdoor (e.g., a building) or indoor (e.g., an office inside a
building).
Addresses provide one of the most common ways to locate and identify an object in the physical world.
They are essential for the management of cities, for governance and public administration generally, for
service delivery in the public and private sector, and they can give people status or (legal) identity in
society. They also play an important role in detecting emerging hotspots and clusters of infected cases
during an epidemic or pandemic. Yet, in many parts of the world, addresses do not exist or are poorly
maintained, and even if they exist, corresponding address data is often lacking or incomplete. Many
stakeholders are involved in address assignment and maintenance, including local governments, postal
operators, geographic naming councils, people who live or work at an address, and users of addresses,
such as banks, local and national governments, e-commerce, and service providers for utilities,
deliveries and emergency response.
This standard specifies how to plan, implement and maintain addresses and corresponding address data
in order to gain maximum benefits for governance and society in the long run. The aim of this standard
is to facilitate the design, planning and implementation of address assignment and maintenance
by specifying requirements and recommendations for objectives, principles, good practice and a
governance framework for assigning and maintaining addresses based on international good practice.
Where regional or national standards already exist, this standard can complement them.
This standard supports the first goal of the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management
(UN-GGIM) Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF) (http://ggim.un.org/), namely,
enabling geospatial (address) information governance, policy and institutional arrangements that
ensure effective geospatial (address) information management, accommodate individual organizational
requirements and arrangements, and that are aligned to national and global policy frameworks.
This standard supports the Universal Postal Union’s initiative, “Addressing the World – An Address for
Everyone”, which promotes the establishment of national addressing infrastructures to the benefit of
all. The standard is also useful for those involved in slum upgrading, as addresses are often assigned
when housing conditions in settlements are being improved.
In many Euro-centric countries, reference to a road network in the address is common, while addresses
in countries such as Japan comprise a hierarchy of administrative areas without reference to a
thoroughfare. In countries with vast tracts of land, an address can comprise only a place name or the
name of an oasis in a desert. Therefore, this standard does not intend to promote uniform addresses
across the world; it specifies good governance and management practices for any kind of address
so that challenges related to address assignment and maintenance can be resolved consistently and
sustainably. The requirements and recommendations in this standard are aimed at upholding a long
lasting addressing infrastructure that meets today’s needs for addressing, but can also be used by
future generations.
This standard is part of the multi-part ISO 19160 standard on addressing:
— ISO 19160-1:2015, Addressing – Part 1: Conceptual model, defines a conceptual model for address
information (address model), together with the terms and definitions that describe the concepts in
the model.
— ISO 19160-3:2020, Addressing – Part 3: Address data quality, establishes a set of data quality elements
and measures for describing the quality of address data; describes procedures for reporting data
quality; and provides guidelines for the use of the established set of data quality elements and
measures for describing the quality of address data.

specifies a set of data models suitable for machine encoding of address information.
The preparatory work for this standard recommended a project on good practices for address
assignment schemes. This part of ISO 19160 implements this recommendation, albeit under a modified
titled.

Part 2:
Assigning and maintaining addresses for objects in the
physical world
1 Scope
This document focuses on assigning and maintaining addresses that allow the unambiguous
determination of an object in the physical world for purposes of identification and location in the
context of public administration and public service delivery. During assignment an address is first
associated with a particular object in the physical world. During maintenance the address changes, e.g.,
it is re-assigned to a different object, one or more of the address components are modified (e.g., a street
name change), or the address is retired when it is no longer used. This standard
a) specifies a good practice for assigning and maintaining addresses and address data; and
b) specifies a governance framework for assigning and maintaining addresses and address data.
Very often local governments (e.g., municipalities) are assigned the mandate for the planning,
implementation, evaluation, and ongoing maintenance of addresses, and they are often supported
by other organizations, such as national government, a postal agency, private sector companies and
national or regional organizations. This standard is of relevance and applicable to all these organizations
who have an interest, role or responsibility in address assignment and maintenance, such as
— developing legislation, policies or regulations for addressing;
— facilitating and coordinating the naming of address components (the constituent parts of an address)
and announcing and communicating these names;
— installing address component signs in the physical world;
— designing and implementing business processes related to address assignment and maintenance;
— designing, implementing and maintaining access to address data;
— developing software to facilitate the above; and
— using addresses.

— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
address
structured information that allows the unambiguous determination of an object for purposes of
identification and location
EXAMPLE 1 Address where the object is a business: 611 Fifth Avenue, New York NY 10022.
EXAMPLE 2 Address where the object is a building: Lombardy House, 809 Lombardy Street, The Hills, 0039,
South Africa.
EXAMPLE 3 Address where the object is a land parcel for a building: San 4–5, Munjae-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul,
13144, South Korea.
EXAMPLE 4 Address where the object is a building group, such as a school or large apartment area: 228-dong
404-ho, 26 Kyunghee-daero, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 130–701, South Korea.
Note 1 to entry: The object is identifiable in the real world, i.e. electronic and virtual addresses are excluded.
Note 2 to entry: “Identification” refers to the fact that the structured information in the address unambiguously
determines the object, i.e. it helps the human to identify the object. In other words, “identification” here does not
refer to unique identifiers in a database or dataset.
Note 3 to entry: There can be many addresses for an object, but at any moment (or lifecycle stage), an address
unambiguously determines a single object.
Note 4 to entry: Two addresses from two different address classes (3.4) (i.e. they have different sets of components)
for the same addressable object (3.2) are two different addresses.
Note 5 to entry: Two addresses for the same addressable object and from the same address class, but in two
different languages are two different addresses (refer to Annex E for more examples).
Note 6 to entry: In addition to the addressable object, there may be a multitude of people, organizations,
addressees or other objects associated with an address. These are external to the address model.

or business to be included in a municipal dataset.
EXAMPLE 2 A community (group of people) has an interest in the names assigned to streets in their suburb.
EXAMPLE 3 A municipality (organization) has the responsibility to assign or maintain addresses within its
area of jurisdiction.
EXAMPLE 4 A private sector service provider who maintains address data on behalf of a municipality.
Note 1 to entry: Adapted for use in the addressing (3.7) domain from ISO/PAS 19450:2015, 3.65.

[SOURCE: ISO 22300:2018, 3.78]
3.12
good practice
method that has been proven to work well and produce good results, and is therefore recommended as
a model
Note 1 to entry: Methods or techniques described as good practice have usually been tested over time and
validated, in the broad sense, through repeated trials before being accepted as worthy of adoption more broadly.
Note 2 to entry: A good practice is typically derived from practitioners who work in a specified field, e.g., in the
assignment and maintenance of addresses and address data, after it has been proven in practice.
Note 3 to entry: Even though a good practice is only recommended as a model, if it is followed, then some parts
or aspects of it may be required. Therefore, the requirements specified for a good practice in this document are
conditional requirements, i.e. they are required only if the good practice is followed.
[SOURCE: ISO 14055-1:2017, 3.1.3, modified — Notes 2 and 3 to entry have been added]
3.13
governance framework
strategies, policies, decision-making structures and accountabilities through which
addressing stakeholders (3.9) assign and maintain addresses in a sustainable manner
EXAMPLE Citizens have an interest in addresses and are therefore addressing stakeholders, but they may
not have any accountabilities in the governance framework.
Note 1 to entry: Not all addressing stakeholders are assigned tasks and responsibilities in the governance
framework.
Note 2 to entry: The requirements specified for a governance framework in this document are conditional
requirements, i.e. they are required only if a governance framework is implemented.
Note 3 to entry: Adapted for use in the addressing (3.7) domain from ISO/IEC TR 38502:2017, 3.1.

manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units
[SOURCE: ISO 19101-2:2018, 3.17]
3.15
profile
set of one or more base standards or subsets of base standards, and, where applicable, the identification
of chosen clauses, classes, options and parameters of those base standards, that are necessary for
accomplishing a particular function
EXAMPLE The South African national standard for address data exchange, SANS 1883-2:2018, is a profile of
ISO 19160-1:2015, Addressing – Part 1: Conceptual model. It specifies a selection of clauses, classes and options
from ISO 19160-1:2015 to be used for the exchange of address data in South Africa.
Note 1 to entry: A profile is derived from base standards so that by definition, conformance to a profile is
conformance to the base standards from which it is derived.

ensure that all users/customers enjoy the right to a universal postal service involving the permanent provision
of quality basic postal services at all points in their territory, at affordable prices.” (UPU, 2018).
Note 1 to entry: Good service delivery provides clients with an increase in value. The provision of sufficient,
affordable and quality basic services is considered a core function of governments. Service delivery, e.g., water,
sanitation, waste management and housing, correlates closely with the health and well-being of citizens.
