Two other significant code changes have occurred, both because of a change in the nation's designation as used by the IOC:
* '''HOL''' was changed to '''NED''' for the [[Netherlands]] for the 1992 Games, reflecting the change in designation from ''Holland''.
* '''IRN''' was changed to '''IRI''' for [[Iran]] for the 1992 Games, reflecting the change in designation to ''Islamic Republic of Iran''.
