Question

Could you please give us clarifications concerning TV87 and TV89 validations? Indeed to our knowledge, the CUSIP code allows 9 characters, but in the TV87 and TV89 validation controls, it allows only 8 characters.

Answer

Please note that both TV87 and TV89 are correct and check for proper CUSIP 9-character pattern using regular expressions. Knowing that the last character of CUSIP code is a checksum digit, EIOPA defined the pattern as 8 characters followed by 1 digit (please note that the ‘\d’ matches any digit character).
