ISO 31 - Parts

Parts

The standard comes in 14 parts:

  • ISO 31-0: General principles
  • ISO 31-1: Space and time (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-3:2007)
  • ISO 31-2: Periodic and related phenomena (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-3:2007)
  • ISO 31-3: Mechanics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-4:2006)
  • ISO 31-4: Heat (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-5:2007)
  • ISO 31-5: Electricity and magnetism
  • ISO 31-6: Light and related electromagnetic radiations
  • ISO 31-7: Acoustics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-8:2007)
  • ISO 31-8: Physical chemistry and molecular physics
  • ISO 31-9: Atomic and nuclear physics
  • ISO 31-10: Nuclear reactions and ionizing radiations
  • ISO 31-11: Mathematical signs and symbols for use in the physical sciences and technology (replaced by ISO 80000-2:2009)
  • ISO 31-12: Characteristic numbers
  • ISO 31-13: Solid state physics

A second international standard on quantities and units was IEC 60027. The ISO 31 and IEC 60027 Standards were revised by the two standardization organizations in collaboration (, ) 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.

Famous quotes containing the word parts:

    “Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    “Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “There is ... in every child a painstaking teacher, so skilful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!”
    —Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
