Cantons
BernBasel-LandThe abbreviations are widely used, e.g. on car license plates and as disambiguator for localities on postal addresses if two localities in different cantons have the same name.
The ISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland start with the prefix "CH-", i.e. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz.
The FIPS region codes of Switzerland were used by the United States government. This standard was withdrawn in 2008.
The NUTS codes of Switzerland were used by the European Union.
