Notice reference number: 0963.17.09
Date published: 13/09/17
Effective as of: 13/09/17
Last updated: 20/10/17

ASX will implement the change to the current ISIN Basic Number regime by replacing the ASX Code or market ticker with a unique basic number effective Q1 2018.

In conjunction with the implementation of the new ISIN format, ASX in its capacity as National Numbering Agency for Australia will also allocate a Classification of Financial Instrument (CFI) and Financial Instrument Short Name (FISN) code identifier to all financial products for which it allocates an ISIN (existing and new format). 

What do I need to do by when?

Stakeholders are advised to refer to the attached implementation brief.
