Hi again,

The admin codes are also wrong, the system with AB, AC et.c. is since long obsolete and changed into a 2 digit number for county.
We also have admin name 3 and admin code 3 data that is called församling (parish). It's related to what church area you belong to and are smaller than the commune area.

So the hierarcy is (as of 2014-03-03);
county (län) - 2 chars, 21 variants
commune (kommun) - 4 chars, 290 variants
parish (församling) - 6 chars, 1602 variants
zipcode (postnummer) - 5 chars - 16447 vartiants

Best information about Swedish data is found on http://www.postnummerservice.se

They do daily updates on the data down to street number level.

Best regads,
Martin
