As you know, inserts have an ISO code system.
The holders also have an ISO code system. It does seem less widely published so less easy to find:
www.cutwel.co.uk
For ceramics, CBN etc, there is no real standard. The further into the ISO code you go, reading from left to right, the more manufacturer-dependent it becomes (e.g. for standard carbide insert, a Sandvik Axyz carbide grade number will not be the same as Iscar Axyz grade, even assuming Iscar use that number at all).
The holders also have an ISO code system. It does seem less widely published so less easy to find:

Learn how to decode the ISO code system for turning inserts. Understand shapes, relief angles, and tolerances to choose the perfect CNC tool.

I normally email MSc technical help, get the insert code then search eBay 
Don't suppose you have the email handy.I normally email MSc technical help, get the insert code then search eBay
It would be nice to get a couple of ceramic and CBN inserts in preparedness.
Interesting no tips come up in eBay using CNMG 1204.
I would have expected to be inundated with Chinese offerings.
Those two options are suggested but I though a broader search would be more productive.
