Abstract
In this article we prove that an isolated complete intersection singularity (V,0) is characterized by a module of finite lengthA(V) (cf. §1 for definition) associated to it. The proof uses the theory of finitely determined map germs and generalises the corresponding result by Yau and Mather [4], for hypersurfaces.
