Don't know ...
Can say UK has their own rating system for BCA. The ELO conversion from USCF or FIDE, I dont recall precisely which ... is (RATING - 600) /8 = BCA
1800 -600 = 1200 ; 1200/8 = 150 BCA
and think they also consider only the last so many games. Perhaps it was 50 games. My only expertise in it involves How To Plummet From 150 to 120 in Less Than 2 Events. LOL. But what fun to finally say I got to play Internationally. }8-)

As far as I know, most countries have their own, national rating systems, and they tend to be based on the FIDE ELO ratings. The mathematics is often very similar, however the values of the numerical coefficients may be rather different.

In the Netherlands...
...we have the KNSB ratings, which are very similar to the FIDE ratings. Belgium also has its own rating system and I suppose every country has. I know the Belgian ratings are somewhat higher.
Also, we have our own rating system at our club. My club rating is currently some 80 points higher than my KNSB rating (and I have no FIDE rating), but that's because I play more games at my club so my KNSB rating represents my playing strength over the last, say, two years while my club rating displays my current strength.
