SEDOL validation
SEDOL-7 UK and Ireland security identifier — checksum: SEDOL mod-10 (weights 1,3,1,7,3,9,1). Free in your browser, or over the JSON API.
What it is
SEDOL-7 UK and Ireland security identifier. CodeCheck verifies three things separately — format, length and check digit — and returns the expected and provided check digit, so a failed value tells you exactly what is wrong instead of just saying no.
Algorithm
SEDOL mod-10 (weights 1,3,1,7,3,9,1). The answer is derived from the value itself, with no database lookup and no third-party call, so it is deterministic, fast and privacy-safe.
Examples
| Value | Result | Expected | Provided |
|---|---|---|---|
| B0YBKJ7 | valid | 7 | 7 |
| 0263494 | valid | 4 | 4 |
API

This type has a single trailing check digit, so CodeCheck can also compute it:
