ISO 3166-2 codes for New Zealand cover 16 regions, 9 in the North Island and 7 in the South Island. Some outlying islands do not lie within these regional boundaries and are not covered by this scheme. Of these, only the Chatham Islands have a permanent population.
The purpose of this family of standards is to establish a worldwide series of short abbreviations for places, for use on package labels, containers and such. Anywhere where a short alphanumeric code can serve to clearly indicate a location in a more convenient and less ambiguous form than the full place name. US readers may wish to consider them as the equivalent of worldwide zip or postal codes. Within the Wikipedia, the codes from the country pages link to the pages for the locations they identify.
The first part of the code is the ISO 3166-1 code NZ for New Zealand, the second part is three-digit-alphabetic.
