If only manufacturers and vendors used that system when describing their inserts. I guess if you're buying off a reputable tool company you can give the ISO specification and ask for an insert the complies and has a coating appropriate to what you're cutting. Buying from eBay can be tricky.
I have been able to figure out whether an insert will fit occasionally, but more often than not eg when I was looking for ACME threading inserts recently it seemed like a free-for-all.
I've also found if you buy a set of tip holders as sold by our ME vendors you'll get the holders with one insert each, but no indication of what the insert codes are for replacement. I ended up with a set of grooving inserts that were too big for my holder, because in a photo they look the same! Then I bought the right size inserts and broke the holder :-\

Fine if the insert manufacturer uses ISO codes but what about ANSI and then you get the clever so and so's who add the material and coating grade in there just to confuse the issue. Sumitomo and others like them make it an exerercise in finding the right catalogue. If only all the manufacturers stuck to one system it would be easy
