Product update: ISO code changes
On March 13th, 2024, we are going to update our database of geographic data to provide more accurate information in our reports.
Whenever possible, Riskline will use ISO 3166 codes, however, in some cases, these codes do not reflect actual changes to administrative regions. For these cases, Riskline will use the admin name and codes most widely adopted by governments, geographic authorities and mapping services.
As an example from Norway, Viken County (ISO NO-30) will be removed as it was separated in January 2024 into Østfold (NO-31), Akershus (NO-32) and Buskerud (NO-33) counties, which will be added to the Riskline database.
Please make sure to change the codes as outlined below so that you can keep receiving notifications for those countries.
