The two-letter abbreviations are widely used, e.g. oncar license plates and as disambiguator for localities on postal addresses if two localities in different cantons have the same name. They are also used with the prefix "CH-" asISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland, e.g. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz.

SFSO also uses a numerical code ordering the cantons by theirconstitutional order (1 to 26).

TheFIPS 10-4 region codes of Switzerland were used by the United States government. This standard was withdrawn in 2008.

TheNUTS-3 codes are used by theEuropean Union.
