Overview
SIST ISO 15924:2023/oPRF Amd 1:2025 is an important amendment to the international standard ISO 15924, which specifies codes for the representation of names of scripts. Managed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this amendment, published in 2025, updates key elements concerning script coding used in information and documentation fields. These codes play a crucial role in standardizing the identification of written scripts across various digital and archival systems, ensuring consistent and interoperable textual data processing globally.
The amendment refines the classification of script codes, especially those within the previously unassigned range, and updates committee representation to reflect the evolving standards landscape. It supports better management of multilingual information systems and enhances compatibility with associated ISO standards, facilitating improved data exchange and information retrieval.
Key Topics
Script Code Range Update: The amendment reclassifies the code range 700–799, changing it from "unassigned" to "Shorthands and other notations." This clarifies the categorization and usage of these codes in representing shorthand writing systems and other notation scripts, expanding the scope of script identification.
Committee Representation Revision: It updates representation from ISO 639-2/RA to ISO 639/MA within the standards' administrative framework, aligning the ISO/TC 46 technical committee with the current ISO language code maintenance authorities. This change promotes better coordination in language and script coding standards development.
Standard Maintenance Procedures: The amendment follows ISO/IEC Directives, ensuring rigorous editorial and procedural compliance. It addresses aspects related to intellectual property rights, encouraging implementers to verify necessary patent information.
Multilingual Accessibility: The document is accessible in multiple languages (English, French, German) and reflects its global applicability in script coding standards.
Applications
Digital Text Processing: ISO 15924 codes enable software systems to accurately identify and manipulate text in different scripts, enhancing multilingual support in applications, databases, and content management systems.
Linguistic and Cultural Documentation: Archives, libraries, and cultural institutions use these standardized codes to catalog manuscripts, historical documents, and language materials with script-specific metadata.
Information Exchange and Interoperability: Governments and international organizations rely on these standards to ensure seamless communication and data exchange across platforms handling diverse scripts in official documents, publications, and electronic records.
Localization and Internationalization: Developers of global software and websites integrate ISO 15924 codes to facilitate language-specific display and input methods, improving user experience for diverse language speakers.
Shorthand and Notation Systems: With the new classification, shorthand and other notation scripts are formally recognized, supporting industries such as legal transcription, stenography, and technical documentation that utilize these specialized writing systems.
Related Standards
ISO 639 (Language Codes): The amendment references ISO 639 standards, which specify codes for language names. Coordination between ISO 15924 and ISO 639 ensures coherent coding of languages and their scripts.
ISO/IEC Directives: The editorial and procedural framework guiding the development and amendment of ISO standards, including ISO 15924, ensuring consistent and transparent standardization processes.
Information and Documentation Standards (ISO/TC 46): ISO 15924 is part of a suite of standards under the technical committee ISO/TC 46 focused on information and documentation, covering classification, indexing, and metadata schemas.
Character Encoding Standards (e.g., Unicode): Though distinct from character encoding, ISO 15924 script codes complement standards like Unicode by providing a standardized way to represent script names in metadata and documentation.
SIST ISO 15924:2023/oPRF Amd 1:2025 reinforces the foundation for standardized script identification, supporting a broad range of applications in information technology, documentation, and linguistic research. By incorporating shorthand and notation scripts and updating committee participation, it aligns with evolving technological needs and governance practices for global script representation.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
