AS/NZS 5901:2020 pdf free.Information and documentation – International Standard Recording Code (ISRC).
The ISRC Registration Authority shall ensure that such allocations are unique. It shall ensure that allocations do not cause collisions with
a) other allocations made under 5.3,
b) ISRC assignments made under 5.5,
c) legacy allocations and ISRC assignments made under previous editions of this document, and
d) as far as possible, code assignments known to have been made, even if these were not fully compliant with this document or its previous editions.
The ISRC Registration Authority shall not normally allocate a further prefix code and range of designation codes to a registrant which has already been allocated either (a) a legacy registrant code under a previous edition of this document or (b) a prefix code and range of designations codes under this document. The ISRC Registration Authority may, however, allocate a further prefix code and range of designation codes to such a registrant if it determines that this is justified by operational circumstances. The ISRC Registration Authority shall provide detailed guidance in the ISRC Handbook.
5.4 Assignment of ISRCs by registrants
Where a registrant has constructed a prefix code under 5.2 or been allocated a prefix code under 5.3, an ISRC shall be assigned to a recording by combining
a) the prefix code,
b) the year of reference using the last two digits of the year in which the code was assigned, and
c) a designation code from the range allocated.
Within the range of designation codes allocated for use with a prefix code, a designation code shall be
assigned only once in any particular year, and hence, each assigned ISRC shall he unique.
Each ISRC assigned under 5.4 shall be associated with certain information about the recording to which it has been assigned. The ISRC Registration Authority shall publish a specification of this information.
5.5 Automated assignment
The ISRC Registration Authority may authorize the automated assignment of ISRCs to recordings. For each country, territory, or group of countries or territories where automated assignment is authorized, the ISRC Registration Authority shall specify and publish technical and administrative information stating how such an ISRC may be assigned.
The ISRC Registration Authority shall specify and publish the descriptive information about such recordings that shall be submitted to allow an ISRC to be assigned under 5.5.
An ISRC shall not be assigned to a recording under 5.5 if an ISRC has previously been assigned to that recording.
A recording to which an ISRC is to be assigned under 5.5 shall be associated with the required descriptive information and this information shall be submitted using the specified interface. Provided no prior assignment of an ISRC to the recording has been made under 5.5 or (as far as the ISRC Registration Authority can reasonably determine) otherwise, an ISRC shall be assigned. If a prior assignment has been made, the registrant shall be informed of this assignment.
The ISRC Registration Authority shall ensure that ISRCs assigned under this clause are unique and do not collide with assignments made under 5.4, under previous editions of this document, and as far as possible with other ISRC assignments known to have been made, even if these were not compliant with this document.AS/NZS 5901 pdf download.
