ISO 3166-2:DK
In this article, we are going to explore the impact of ISO 3166-2:DK on contemporary society. Since its appearance on the global stage, ISO 3166-2:DK has aroused great interest and has generated countless debates in different areas, such as politics, culture, technology or science. In this sense, we propose to comprehensively analyze how ISO 3166-2:DK has transformed the way we live, think and relate to the world around us. Throughout these pages, we will examine both the positive aspects and the challenges that ISO 3166-2:DK presents for our society, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and enriching vision of this phenomenon.
ISO 3166-2:DK is the entry for Denmark in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
The current version of the standard defines codes for the five regions of Denmark created during the municipal reform of 2007.
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.
| Code | Subdivision name 2007–2011 (da) | Subdivision name post-2011 (da) | Subdivision name (en) [note 1] |
|---|---|---|---|
| DK-84 | Region Hovedstaden | Hovedstaden | Capital Region |
| DK-82 | Region Midjylland | Midtjylland | Central Denmark |
| DK-81 | Region Nordjylland | Nordjylland | North Denmark |
| DK-85 | Region Sjælland | Sjælland | Zealand |
| DK-83 | Region Syddanmark | Syddanmark | Southern Denmark |
