The DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm) rating system for film speeds is based on a logarithmic scale where each increase by one represents one third of a stop. Most photographers are more familiar with the ASA system which doubles in number with an increase of one stop. However, the ISO rating system used today lists both, as in this example:

ISO 400/27°

The DIN rating comes second and is easily recognized by the degree symbol after it.

Here is a list of the DIN speeds matched with their ASA equivalents:
