identifier-managementprivate-companiescoverage-updates

Design Decisions

A new special idType value 'L1' was introduced for Level One publisher identification

To help implementors identify the publisher with greater certainty by imposing restrictions on otherwise flexible facilities

RIXML Level One Addendum v2.5, p.26

Added DUNS enumeration value to IssuerSecurityIDTypeEnum for identifying private companies

The Interactions work stream required the ability to identify private companies, and DUNS numbers are commonly used identifiers for this purpose, providing unique nine-digit identifiers for businesses including credit file establishment
