authorities</b> (<b>RAs</b>) exist for many standards organizations, such as ANNA (Association of National Numbering Agencies for <a href="/wiki/ISIN" class="mw-redirect" title="ISIN">ISIN</a>), the <a href="/wiki/Object_Management_Group" title="Object Management Group">Object Management Group</a>, <a href="/wiki/W3C" class="mw-redirect" title="W3C">W3C</a>, and others. In general, registration authorities all perform a similar function, in promoting the use of a particular standard through facilitating its use. This may be by applying the standard, where appropriate, or by verifying that a particular application satisfies the standard's tenants. Maintenance agencies, in contrast, may change an element in a standard based on set rules – such as the creation or change of a currency code when a currency is created or revalued (i.e. TRL to TRY for <a href="/wiki/Turkish_lira" title="Turkish lira">Turkish lira</a>). The <a href="/wiki/Object_Management_Group" title="Object Management Group">Object Management Group</a> has an additional concept of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Certified_provider&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Certified provider (page does not exist)">certified provider</a>, which is deemed an entity permitted to perform some functions on behalf of the registration authority, under specific processes and procedures documented within the standard for such a role. </p><p>An <a href="/wiki/ISO" class="mw-redirect" title="ISO">ISO</a> registration authority is not authorized to update standards but provides a registration function to facilitate implementation of an International Standard (e.g. <a href="/wiki/ISBN" title="ISBN">ISBN</a> for books). Frequently, facilitating the implementation of an ISO standard's requirements is best suited, by its nature, to one entity, an RA. This, de facto, creates a monopoly situation and this is why care needs to be taken with respect to the functions carried out and the fees charged to avoid an abuse of such a situation.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In most cases, there is a formal legal contract in place between the standards body, such as the ISO General Secretariat, and the selected registration authority. </p><p>ISO registration authorities differ from a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Maintenance_agency&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Maintenance agency (page does not exist)">maintenance agency</a>. Maintenance agencies are authorized to update particular elements in an International Standard and as a matter of policy, the secretariats of MAs are assigned to bodies forming part of the ISO system (member bodies or organizations to which a member body delegates certain tasks in its country). The membership of MAs and their operating procedures are subject to approval by the Technical Management Board. </p><p>While registration authorities for a particular standard typically do not change, the position is not formally guaranteed and is subject to review and reassignment to a different firm or organization. In some cases, the concept of a registration authority may not exist for a standard at all. </p><p>By further example, the equivalent registration authority organization for <a
