    If you use a search API call for a Sedol it will return all RICs.

    If you use a composite extraction request API call for a Sedol it will return the primary RIC.

    LP71000002 is the primary RIC for Sedol B1YW440 (the RIC for the instrument quoted on its primary exchange).

    More details on this, and (Java) code samples can be found under query Is there JAVA examples to look up a RIC by CUSIP, ISIN or SEDOL?
