Abstract

At its Scientific Assembly 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa, the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth´s Interior (IASPEI) adopted the following resolution: "Recognizing that the International Registry of Seismic Stations no longer meets the needs of the seismological community,Recommends adoption of the newly developed seismic network and station coding standards developed by IASPEI to promote compatibility between waveform and parameter data exchange, attribution of parameter data, and flexibility for seismic network operators to better support earthquake monitoring and hazard assessment.The resolution is based on the August 2008 report of the IASPEI Working Group on Station Codes, which is reproduced below.The new registry is likely to become operational after some further discussion and testing around 2013.
