The third element of an ISBN shall indicate the registrant for that ISBN. This element shall be allocated from the ranges assigned to each registration group according to rules specified by the Registration Authority. In the majority of cases, the registrant element shall refer to one publisher. Under certain circumstances, more than one publisher may share a registrant element, usually as a result of mergers or other commercial activities involving particular publications. Also, within each registration group,or within a specific range within a registration group, a common block of registrant elements may be reserved for the purpose of assigning individual ISBNs to publishers.
Exceptionally, a registrant element may be assigned to an intermediary who is acting on behalf of a publisher or has been unable to obtain an ISBN from the publisher. An intermediary who is commissioned by the publisher simply to fulfil the ISBN paperwork shall not be assigned a registrant element in their own right.
The registrant element varies in length according to the projected publication output of each publisher.The length of this element shall be determined in accordance with the agreed specifications of the ISBN system for assigning ranges of the ISBN as defined within this document and in guidelines issued by the Registration Authority. Technical information that specifies validation rules for registrant element length within a particular registration group shall be available from the Registration Authority.
If publishers are using intermediaries to generate products with different product form details or product forms with differing features or usage constraints of their e-books, then they should provide separate ISBNs for the intermediaries to assign to each separate product. If a publisher does not provide ISBNs to an intermediary for each separate product, then the intermediary may assign their own ISBNs in order to identify the products uniquely if they are made available in the supply chain. ISBN registrant elements will be provided to intermediaries for this purpose. ISBNs and related metadata shall be reported back to the publisher and to other bibliographic agencies along with the publisher’s original ISBN (if it exists), which shall also be included in order that sales data can be aggregated for the same title.AS 1519 pdf free download.
