According to [1] Sweden uses SS-ISO 8601 and Norway uses NS-ISO 8601.
According to [2]: "All members of CEN[3] (all of Western Europe and Scandinavia, and most of Eastern Europe) are required to adopt the EN 28601 European Standard. Most have now done so"
It's not obvious what this really means though.

- alkonaut 9y agoI think [1] only covers how ISO is used in norway. I think if you look at what's actually common you'll find that norwegians use the non-ISO dd.MM.yy most of the time, but when they use ISO they use ISO as in [1] above. That's the difference to sweden, we'd actually us an ISO 8601 type format as our everyday format.
