a list of security identifiers used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for clearing purposes. The numbers are assigned by the London Stock Exchange, on request by the security issuer.

The ISIN code is a 12-character alpha-numerical code that does not contain information characterizing financial instruments but serves for uniform identification of a
security at trading and settlement.Securities to which ISINs can be issued include debt securities,
shares, options, derivatives and futures. The ISIN identifies the security, not the exchange (if any)
on which it trades; it is not a ticker symbol. For instance, stock trades through almost 30 trading
platforms and exchanges worldwide, and is priced in five different currencies; it has the same ISIN
on each, though not the same ticker symbol. ISIN cannot specify a particular trading location in
this case, and another identifier, typically MIC (Market Identification Code) or the three-letter
exchange code, will have to be specified in addition to the ISIN.
