International Standard Banking Practice (ISBP) – Corrigenda

ICC is the world business organisation, whose mission it is to promote open trade and investment and to help business meet the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly integrated world economy. With interests spanning every sector of private enterprise, ICC’s global network comprises over 6 million companies, chambers of commerce and business associations in more than 130 countries. ICC members work through national committees in their countries to address business concerns and convey ICC views to their respective governments. ICC conveys international business views and priorities through active engagement with the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G20 and other intergovernmental forums. Close to 3,000 experts drawn from ICC member companies contribute their knowledge and experience into crafting the ICC stance on specific business issues. 

The following changes have to be read in conjunction with the original English edition of the ISBP, first published by the ICC in January 2003.

In October 2002, the ICC Banking Commission approved a document entitled “International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under Documentary Credits (ISBP)”. In June 2003, several refinements to the text were issued in the form of a "corrigenda". Note that only one of these changes (concerning paragraph 187) was a substantive change. The other changes were minor and mechanical and have no impact on the substance.
