SEDOLs serve as the National Securities Identifying Number for all securities issued in the United Kingdom and are therefore part of the security's International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) as well. The SEDOL Masterfile (SMF) provides reference data on millions of global multi-asset securities each uniquely identified at the market ...
ISINs consist of two alphabetic characters, which are the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the issuing country, nine alpha-numeric characters (the National Securities Identifying Number, or NSIN, which identifies the security, padded as necessary with leading zeros), and one numerical check digit. They are thus always 12 characters in length.
In the United Kingdom, the NNA is the London Stock Exchange and the NSIN is the SEDOL. In France, the NNA is Euroclear France and the NSIN used to be the Sicovam. As of July 1, 2003 SICOVAMs are no longer issued, ISINs being used instead. In Germany, the NNA is Wertpapier-Mitteilungen and the NSIN is the WKN.
SEDOL - Reference to SEDOL removed (the official UK security identifier that forms part of GB ISINs). Link - Link to anna-web (official Association of NNAs) being replaced with a link to isin.net (a commercial site that makes money from acting as a middleman between a buyer and an NNA). Table of diffs for consideration:
The ISIN code is a 12-character alpha-numerical code that does not contain information characterizing financial instruments, but serves for uniform identification of a security at trading and settlement. The ISIN identifies the security, not the exchange (if any) on which it trades; it is, therefore, not a replacement for the ticker symbol. [7]

Not convinced that a conversion of SEDOL to ISIN is purely the padding. ISIN cover a single stock, where SEDOL covers the lines of stock. E.g. Total being traded on the French Bourse and the DAX would have two differnt SEDOLs but the same ISIN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.28.40.161 18:16, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
