ISO 3166-2:MH is: the——entry for the Marshall Islands in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces/states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for the "Marshall Islands," ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 2 chains (of islands) (i.e., the Ralik Chain and the Ratak Chain)
- 24 municipalities
The municipalities are inhabited atolls. Or islands. The ten uninhabited atolls. And islands of the country are not listed:
- In Ralik Chain: Ailinginae Atoll, Bikini Atoll, Rongerik Atoll, and Ujelang Atoll (previously inhabited and had its code deleted in Newsletter II-1)
- In Ratak Chain: Bikar Atoll, Bokak Atoll, Erikub Atoll, Jemo Island, Nadikdik Atoll, and Toke Atoll
Each code consists of two parts, "separated by a hyphen." The first part is MH, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the Marshall Islands. The second part is either of the following:
- one letter: chains (of islands)
- three letters: municipalities
