unit identification code;

(b)

account identification code;

(c)

permit identification code;

(d)

account holder identification code;

(e)

The version of the ISO3166 codes shall be as set out in the functional and technical specifications for data exchange standards for registry systems under the Kyoto Protocol, elaborated pursuant to Decision 24/CP.8 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC.

Display and reporting of identification codes U.K.

2. For the purpose of displaying and reporting the identification codes set out in this Annex, each element of an identification code shall be separated by a dash ‘-’ and without spaces. Leading zeros in numeric values shall not be displayed. The separating dash ‘-’ shall not be stored in the elements of the identification code. U.K.

Unit identification code U.K.

3. Table VI-1 details the elements of the unit identification code. Each Kyoto unit and allowance shall be assigned a unit identification code. Unit identification codes shall be generated by registries and shall be unique throughout the registries system. U.K.

4. A set of units shall be transmitted as a unit block defined by the starting block identifier and the ending block identifier. Every unit of a unit block shall be identical, except for their unique identifier element. Every unique identifier element of the units of a unit block shall be consecutive. When necessary to perform a transaction, keep track of, record or otherwise characterise a unit or unit block, registries or transaction logs shall create multiple unit blocks from a single unit block. When transmitting a single unit, the starting block identifier and ending block identifier shall be equal. U.K.

5. Multiple unit blocks shall not overlap with respect to their identifier element. Multiple unit blocks in the same message shall appear in the message in ascending order of their starting block identifier. U.K.
