I think that the writer must mean some Danish character set similar to ISO 646. 

ISO 646 is a well defined object, and is not Danish.
The 94 graphic characters of ISO 646 are not the same as the UK set,
the ASCII set, the NATS set for DANISH and Norwegian, and so on.

A few registrations:
	2	ISO 646 (international reference version)
	4	UK Graphics
	6	US Graphics (ASCII)
	8-1	NATS main graphic set (Fin - Swed)
	8-2	NATS additional set (Fin - Swed)
	9-1	NATS main graphic set (Den - Nor)
	9-2	NATS additional set (Den - Nor)
	13	JIS Katakana (JIS 6220-1969)
	68	APL character set for Workspace interchange
	87	JIS Katakana (JIS 6226-1983)
