Superseded international standard
ISO 31
(
Quantities
and
units
,
International Organization for Standardization
, 1992) is a superseded international standard concerning
physical quantities
, units of
measurement
, their interrelationships and their presentation.
[1]
It was revised and replaced by
ISO/IEC 80000
.
Parts
[
edit
]
The standard comes in 14 parts:
A second international standard on quantities and units was
IEC 60027
.
[2]
The ISO 31 and IEC 60027 Standards were revised by the two standardization organizations in collaboration (
[1]
,
[2]
) to integrate both standards into a joint standard
ISO/IEC 80000 - Quantities and Units
in which the quantities and equations used with SI are to be referred as the
International System of Quantities
(ISQ). ISO/IEC 80000 supersedes both ISO 31 and part of IEC 60027.
Coined words
[

]
ISO 31-0
introduced several new words into the
English language
that are direct spelling-
calques
from the
French
.
[3]
Some of these words have been used in scientific literature.

- Canada:
CAN/CSA-Z234-1-89 Canadian Metric Practice Guide (covers some aspects of ISO 31-0, but is not a comprehensive list of physical quantities comparable to ISO 31)
- United States:
There are several national
SI
guidance documents, such as
NIST SP 811
,
NIST SP 330
,
NIST SP 814
, IEEE/ASTM SI 10, SAE J916. These cover many aspects of the ISO 31-0 standard, but lack the comprehensive list of quantities and units defined in the remaining parts of ISO 31.
