NUTS-2 regions

As a member of the EFTA, Switzerland is included in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). The three NUTS levels are: NUTS-1: Switzerland (CH0) NUTS-2: 7 Regions NUTS-3: 26 Cantons

The seven NUTS-2 regions are the following: Code Region Region (local name) Cantons CH01 Lake Geneva region Région lémanique Vaud, Valais, Geneva CH02 Espace Mittelland Espace Mittelland Bern, Fribourg, Solothurn, Neuchâtel, Jura CH03 Northwestern Switzerland Nordwestschweiz Basel-City, Basel-Country, Aargau CH04 Zurich Zürich Zurich CH05 Eastern Switzerland Ostschweiz Glarus, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden, St. Gallen, Grisons, Thurgau CH06 Central Switzerland Zentralschweiz Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Zug CH07 Ticino Ticino Ticino

Below the NUTS levels, there are two LAU levels (LAU-1: districts; LAU-2: municipalities).

Cantons

The two-letter 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. They are also used with the prefix "CH-" as ISO 3166-2 codes of Switzerland, e.g. CH-SZ for the canton of Schwyz.

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

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 This standard was withdrawn in 2008.

The NUTS-3 codes are used by the European Union.
