{{main|ISO 3166-2}}
'''ISO 3166-2:GB''' is the entry for the [[United Kingdom]] in [[ISO 3166-2]], part of the [[ISO 3166]] [[standardization|standard]] published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO), which defines [[code]]s for the names of the principal [[country subdivision|subdivision]]s (e.g., [[province]]s or [[state (administrative division)|state]]s) of all [[country|countries]] coded in [[ISO 3166-1]]. The codes and structures used are provided to the ISO by [[British Standards]] and the [[Office for National Statistics]].
Currently for the United Kingdom, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for the following subdivisions:
* [[England]]:
** [[non-metropolitan counties|27 two-tier counties]]
** [[London boroughs|32 London boroughs]]
** [[metropolitan boroughs|36 metropolitan districts]]
** [[unitary authorities of England|55 unitary authorities]] (includes 5 single-tier counties; Cornwall, Durham, Northumberland, Shropshire & Wiltshire )
** 1 city corporation (i.e., the [[City of London]])
* [[Northern Ireland]]: [[districts of Northern Ireland|26 district council areas]]
* [[Scotland]]: [[council areas of Scotland|32 council areas]]
* [[Wales]]: [[principal areas of Wales|22 unitary authorities]]
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is <tt>GB</tt>, the [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] code of the United Kingdom. The second part is three letters, which is the [[British Standards|British Standard]] BS 6879 three-letter code of the subdivision.
The four [[countries of the United Kingdom|constituent parts of the United Kingdom]], i.e., England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales (whose status is described as either "country", or "province"), are also assigned codes, as well as three other geopolitical terms which are "included for completeness":
* [[England and Wales]] (consisting of England and Wales)
* [[Great Britain]] (consisting of England, Scotland, and Wales)
* United Kingdom (consisting of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales)
Each code consists of three letters, which is also taken from BS 6879.
The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code <tt>UK</tt> is also [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2#Exceptional reservations|exceptionally reserved]] for the United Kingdom on the request of the country. Its main usage is the [[.uk]] internet [[country code top-level domain|ccTLD]].
==Current codes==
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
BS 6879 gives alternative name forms in [[Welsh language|Welsh]] (cy) for some of the Welsh unitary authorities (together with alternative code elements). Since this part of ISO 3166 does not allow for duplicate coding of identical subdivisions, such alternative names in Welsh and code elements are shown for information purposes only in square brackets after the [[English language|English]] name of the subdivision.

Wales was changed from being described as a ''principality'' to being described as a ''country'' in the December 2011 update to the standard. England and Scotland were maintained as ''country'' and Northern Ireland was maintained as ''province''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_3166-2_newsletter_ii-3_2011-12-13.pdf|title=Changes in the list of subdivision names and code elements|work=ISO 3166-2|publisher=International Organization for Standardization|date=15 December 2011|accessdate=28 May 2012}}</ref>
