Do I need a national or international RID?

Depending on whether the application is to be used in a national or international environment, and whether a country has a national registration system in place, you may have the choice of obtaining a national or an international RID.

If your application is to be used internationally, you need to apply for an international RID. If the application is to be used nationally and a national registration system has been established, a national RID should be applied for. The make-up of the national RID is up to each individual country. For further information about obtaining a national RID in your country, enquiries should be made to your national standards body.

The UK does not have a national RID register.
