✦ Synopsis

Preferred practice is t o use the base units (m, s, kg, mol, K, A, cd) and their derived units (N, Pa, I, W, V, rad, sr, etc.) in the nomenclature and in all equations.

Data, however, may be reported in suitable multiples of these units provided the units are clearly stated.

The first listed is the base unit; the others are commonly used multiples. Accepted deviations listed in brackets.
