ISO/IEC 2022:1994/Cor 1:1999

Overview

ISO/IEC 2022:1994/Cor 1:1999 is a technical corrigendum to the international standard ISO/IEC 2022:1994 - Information technology - Character code structure and extension techniques. The corrigendum updates administrative details in Annex B, specifically the designation and contact details of the Registration Authority responsible for maintaining the ISO-IR registry of coded character sets. The corrigendum was published on 1999-04-15 by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2 (Coded character sets).

Key topics and requirements

• Correction of Registration Authority: Replaces the previously referenced organization (ECMA) with IPSJ/ITSCJ (Information Processing Society of Japan / Information Technology Standards Commission of Japan) as the Registration Authority.
• Updated contact information: The corrigendum supplies the Registration Authority’s address, telephone, fax, email (iso-ir@itscj.ipsj.or.jp) and web URL (http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/ISO-IR).
• Administrative amendment only: This Technical Corrigendum does not change the normative technical content of ISO/IEC 2022 itself; it updates administrative and registry stewardship details related to coded character set registration.
• Reference and identification: The corrigendum is identified as ISO/IEC 2022:1994/Cor.1:1999(E) and includes ICS classification 35.040.

Applications and who uses it

• Standards bodies and registry administrators: Ensures correct stewardship and contact for the ISO-IR registry of coded character sets.
• Software vendors and implementers of character encoding: Rely on the ISO-IR registry and associated registration procedures to reference and implement standardized coded character sets consistently.
• Localization and internationalization engineers: Use the registry entries and related standard references when supporting multiple language encodings.
• Archivists and interoperability planners: Depend on authoritative registry maintenance to preserve and map legacy and registered character sets.

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 2022 is commonly associated with other character-encoding standards and registries such as ISO/IEC 8859 series, ISO/IEC 10646, and Unicode. The corrigendum itself is an administrative update and should be considered alongside the main ISO/IEC 2022 document when consulting registration procedures and references.
