Bosch published several versions of the CAN specification and the latest is CAN 2. A is for the standard format with an 11-bit identifier, and part B is for the extended format with a 29-bit identifier. A CAN device that uses 11-bit identifiers is commonly called CAN 2. 0A and a CAN device that uses 29-bit identifiers is commonly called CAN 2. ISO 11898-1 which covers the data link layer, and ISO 11898-2 which covers the CAN physical layer for high-speed CAN. In 2012, Bosch released CAN FD 1. 0 or CAN with Flexible Data-Rate.

This specification uses a different frame format that allows a different data length as well as optionally switching to a faster bit rate after the arbitration is decided. CAN FD is compatible with existing CAN 2. 0 networks so new CAN FD devices can coexist on the same network with existing CAN devices. The OBD-II standard has been mandatory for all cars and light trucks sold in the United States since 1996.
