This document focuses on assigning and maintaining addresses that allow the unambiguous determination of an object in the physical world for purposes of identification and location in the context of public administration and public service delivery. During assignment, an address is first associated with a particular object in the physical world. During maintenance, the address changes, for example, it is re-assigned to a different object, one or more of the address components are modified (e.g. a street name change), or the address is retired when it is no longer used. This document: a) specifies a good practice for assigning and maintaining addresses and address data; and b) specifies a governance framework for assigning and maintaining addresses and address data. Very often local governments (e.g. municipalities) are assigned the mandate for the planning, implementation, evaluation and ongoing maintenance of addresses, and they are often supported by other organizations, such as the national government, a postal agency, private sector companies and national or regional organizations. This document is applicable to all organizations who have an interest, role or responsibility in address assignment and maintenance, for example in terms of: — developing legislation, policies or regulations for addressing; — facilitating and coordinating the naming of address components (the constituent parts of an address) and announcing and communicating these names; — installing address component signs in the physical world; — designing and implementing business processes related to address assignment and maintenance; — designing, implementing and maintaining access to address data; — developing software to facilitate the above; and — using addresses.
Abstract
Overview
ISO 19160-2:2023 - Addressing Part 2: Assigning and maintaining addresses for objects in the physical world - defines good practice and a governance framework for creating, updating and retiring addresses used to identify and locate real-world objects. It applies to outdoor and indoor addressable objects (buildings, offices, utility assets, parks, etc.) and focuses on public administration and public service delivery. The standard helps ensure addresses are unambiguous, sustainable and interoperable across organizations and systems.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and purpose: Guidance for assignment and maintenance of addresses, including re-assignment, modification of address components (e.g., street name changes) and retiring unused addresses.
- Good practice: Principles for consistent address assignment and address data management that support identification and location of addressable objects.
- Governance framework: Roles and responsibilities, stakeholder engagement (local governments, national authorities, postal operators, private sector, naming authorities, residents), and institutional arrangements for addressing.
- Processes: Lifecycle processes for address assignment, change management, publication and access to address data, and coordination between agencies.
- Address data management: Organization and control of address data via address data management systems, including identifiers and conformance/testing considerations (see ISO 19105 reference).
- Supporting material: Normative abstract test suite (Annex A) and examples of addressing objectives (Annex B) to help implementation and validation.
Practical applications and who uses it
ISO 19160-2 is intended for any organization with a role or interest in addressing:
- Local and national governments - planning and maintaining addressing policy, street naming, signage and addressing infrastructures.
- Postal operators and logistics firms - ensuring deliverability and routing accuracy.
- Emergency services, utilities and public service providers - reliable location referencing for response and service delivery.
- Software developers and GIS teams - designing address management systems and APIs that conform to international good practice.
- Regulators and policy makers - drafting legislation, standards or programs for national addressing initiatives (e.g., Universal Postal Union “Addressing the World”).
Use cases include slum upgrading and formalization of addresses, e-commerce delivery networks, health surveillance (geolocation of cases), and national addressing strategies.
