ISO 3166-2:KH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ISO 3166-2:KH is the entry 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 of Cambodia (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is KH).

Currently 4 autonomous municipalities and 20 provinces are assigned codes.^{[note 1]} Each code starts with KH-, followed by a number (1–24). Its assignment is based on the following:

• 1–21: autonomous municipalities and provinces created before the 1990s
• 22–23: autonomous municipality and province created circa 1995
• 24: autonomous municipality created circa 1997
