This file lists specific errors observed in the official IBAN specification. In addition to the specific errors, there persist basic outstanding matters that cause issue for implementers: - Non 1:1 mapping of records to countries (eg: French territories, etc.) - Mixing of free text and hard data in specification fields - Lack of validation of information in fields prior to publishing - Lack of synchronisation between TXT and PDF versions of the registry 2011-07-16 ---------- - No information for Kuwait past sixth column - Total absence of information regarding Kazakhstan - '1.00001E+15' instead of a valid BBAN example for Lithuania - Repeated IBAN example in human format instead of IBAN format- specification for UAE - Incorrect domestic example for Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mauritius, Romania, San Marino (complete, human-format IBAN instead of domestic example) Early 2012 ---------- - Inconsistent record ordering (KW, KZ) - Inconsistent capitalization (DK) - Continued presence of incorrect domestic examples February 2013 ------------- - Deployment of unparseable special values such as "Not in use" (FI). - Still(!) missing a registry entry for 2010's 'new' entry of Khazakstan September 2013 -------------- - Azerbaijan, Brazil, Costa Rica, Palestine, Virgin Islands 'SEPA Country' field in PDF (yes/no) is completely blank March 2014 ---------- - In multiple cases, territories of a major country have a SEPA status that differs from the parent jurisdiction. The IBAN specification as previously released does not include individual records for these territories, and thus cannot convey this important information. - The IBAN registry's old URL is no longer publicly available! Its now ends in a 404, and the apparent new home, located over at http://www.swift.com/products_services/by_type/reference_data/iban_registry_iso13616 does not have any content. The parent portion of this part of the SWIFT website suggests the information may have been moved to a new 'SWIFTRef' site, however that site appears to only peddle paid for directories of BICs and similar. The new location after much searching was found to be http://www.swift.com/products_services/bic_and_iban_format_registration_iban_format_r June 2014 --------- - The TXT registry records of QA and JO do not match those within the PDF and are essentially spurious while looking roughly correct. Dang.
