This Treasury Board Information Technology Standard (TBITS-12) adopts the Codes for the
representation of currencies and funds as specified by the National Standard of Canada
CAN/CGSB-200.6-87 for use by the Government of Canada. As such
CAN/CGSB-200.6-87/ISO 4217 is to be considered an integral part of this document. The
objective of this standard is to provide a set of codes for the representation of
currencies and funds that will promote consistency and uniformity in the exchange of
data both inside and outside the federal government. These codes are:
- language independent
- internationally recognized
- equally suitable for manual or electronic use
- maintained and updated by an international maintenance agency
This standard provides a three-letter and a three-digit code for representing
currencies and funds. It is intended for use in applications such as trade, commerce or
banking where codes are required to identify currencies and funds. The codes are designed
to be equally suitable for manual users and for those employing automated systems.
In certain circumstances departments and agencies may wish to make exceptions to the
use of this standard. This may be done when it can be clearly demonstrated that there are
appreciable performance or cost advantages to be gained, when the overall interests of the
Government of Canada are best served or when they are party to an international treaty or
obligation (e.g. NATO).
This TBITS specifies CAN/CGSB-200.6-87 Codes for the Representation of Currencies and
Funds for use by the Government of Canada. It is identical in content and in layout with
International Standard ISO 4217 Codes for the Representation of Currencies and Funds.
The international standard was reviewed by the CGSB Committee on Trade Documents and was
subsequently adopted as a National Standard of Canada.
The effective date of this standard is December 1991.
Existing applications employing codes other than stated in this standard may continue
for up to three years following the effective date of this TBITS.
