URL: https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html
Observed date: 2026-10-30
Read depth: Public explanation of three standard parts, alpha-2/alpha-3/numeric codes and use conditions; paid standard not accessed
Locator: What is included in ISO 3166?; Using ISO Codes
Evidence type: authored paraphrase of inspected source, not a source snapshot

Supported claim: ISO distinguishes country codes, subdivision codes and formerly used codes. Alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric representations are separate encodings, rather than substantive definitions of access.

Limit: Only explanatory metadata and short paraphrase retained; no standard or paid code collection copied. Official names are not inferred from website language or exchange branding.
