International Securities Identification Numbers were first employed in 1981. At that point it had not reached wide global acceptance until 1989, when the G30 countries recommended ISIN adoption. In 1990, the Association of National Numbering Agencies, or “ANNA”, was formed and endorsed by the International Organization for Standardization, or “ISO”. The Global ISIN Access Mechanism was developed in 1994 to facilitate the electronic exchange of ISIN information across the different National Number Agencies “NNA” and today shares wide popularity throughout the world.
ANNA, the Association of National Numbering Agencies, has been commission with the implementation and availability of ISIN numbers throughout the world. To further this goal, ANNA has created an information exchange process called “GIAM-2”, which uses the Internet and CD-ROM technologies to achieve its goals.
