The method used to provide a well known reference number is considered to build-up a number in 3 sections. The first is a reference to the town, the second to the country and the third a random number representing the individual business within every town separately. The construction layout of the JBNumber is illustrated as follows:
The following is a table of all the conditions which can be used to build-up the JBNumber.
(Countries with a postal code of 4 characters which is all numeric). |

| ZZZZ |

Numeric |
000000 - 999999 |
A business within the specific town. |
|
Example: To refer to a business named 'AnyBiz' located in 'Kroonstad' within the country 'South Africa' will be: 9500za001122, Whereas 9500 equal to Kroonstad's main postal code, za to the global country reference and 001122 a random number provided by InfoCountry. |
The reference number will only be accepted if it is predictable to the public and flexible within every country and town. To accomplish this the town number is chosen from the existing postal codes of every town and the country code comes from the Internet country references. The last 6 numeric values are randomly created from InfoCountry database to provide a unique number for every town separately.
| For countries that require a postal code length of which exceeds 4 characters and that may contain text as well as numbers, the following conditions will apply. |

000000 - 999999 |

The only disadvantage for this number is that the character length of the JBNumber will increase to 14 characters and therefore increase a possible users friendly thread. |
