The composition of the unified code is comprehensively considered from the perspectives of uniqueness, unity, enjoyment, convenience and low-cost conversion. The unified code is designed as 18 bits, which consists of five parts: the registration management department code, the organization category code, the administrative division code of the registration management organ, the subject identification code (organization code) and the check code (see annex).
In order to facilitate industry management and social identification, the first, second and third parts of the unified code reflect the administrative divisions of registration management departments, institutions and registration management organs, and are compatible with the effective and meaningful code functions of various registration management departments at present.
