Asociación Colombiana de Productores de Fonogramas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asociación Colombiana de Productores de Fonogramas (ASINCOL) was a trade group representing the Colombian recording industry.

ASINCOL was responsible for music recording sales certification in Colombia[1] and was the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) agency for Colombia.[2] As of 2019 there is no local ISRC agency in Colombia.[3]

Sales certificates[]

ASINCOL was responsible for awarding music recording certifications in Colombia until the organization closed. The certification levels for albums until 2004 were 15,000 for Gold and 30,000 for Platinum. Due to low sales, the levels were lowered in 2004 to 10,000 for Gold and 20,000 for Platinum.[1] In 2007 the lower levels for international repertoire were introduced, requiring 5,000 units for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum, while the domestic levels remained unchanged.[4]

ASINCOL also certified music videos, with certification levels of 5,000 for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum.[4]
