ISO 3166-2:DK
ISO 3166-2:DK is the entry for
states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1
.
The current version of the standard defines codes for the five
municipal reform of 2007.[1]
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is DK, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Denmark. The second part is a two-digit number between 81 and 85.
Current codes
Subdivision names are listed as shown in the second edition of the ISO 3166-2 standard, published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.
In 2011, by request of the Danish Government, the prefix Region was removed from the name of each subdivision and the list was re-sorted to show the names in
Danish alphabetical order (a–z, æ, ø, å) rather than numerical sequence.[2]
