Introduction
0.1 Quantities
Systems of quantities and systems of units can be treated in many consistent, but different, ways. Which
treatment to use is only a matter of convention. The presentation given in this International Standard is
the one that is the basis for the International System of Units, the SI (from the French: Système
international d’unités), adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures, the CGPM (from
the French: Conférence générale des poids et mesures).
The quantities and relations among the quantities used here are those almost universally accepted for
use throughout the physical sciences. They are presented in the majority of scientific textbooks today
and are familiar to all scientists and technologists.
The quantities and the relations among them are in principle infinite in number and are continually
evolving as new fields of science and technology are developed. Thus, it is not possible to list all these
quantities and relations in this International Standard; instead, a selection of the more commonly used
quantities and the relations among them is presented.
It is inevitable that some readers working in particular specialized fields may find that the quantities
they are interested in using may not be listed in this International Standard or in another International
Standard. However, provided that they can relate their quantities to more familiar examples that are
listed, this will not prevent them from defining units for their quantities.
Most of the units used to express values of quantities of interest were developed and used long before
the concept of a system of quantities was developed. Nonetheless, the relations among the quantities,
which are simply the equations of the physical sciences, are important, because in any system of units
the relations among the units play an important role and are developed from the relations among the
corresponding quantities.
The system of quantities, including the relations among them the quantities used as the basis of the
units of the SI, is named the International System of Quantities, denoted “ISQ”, in all languages. This
name was not used in ISO 31, from which the present harmonized series has evolved. However, ISQ
[8]
does appear in ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007 and in the SI Brochure , Edition 8:2006. In both cases, this was
to ensure consistency with the new Quantities and units series that was under preparation at the time
they were published; it had already been announced that the new term would be used. It should be
realized, however, that ISQ is simply a convenient notation to assign to the essentially infinite and
continually evolving and expanding system of quantities and equations on which all of modern science
and technology rests. ISQ is a shorthand notation for the “system of quantities on which the SI is based”,
which was the phrase used for this system in ISO 31.
0.2 Units
A system of units is developed by first defining a set of base units for a small set of corresponding base
quantities and then defining derived units as products of powers of the base units corresponding to the
relations defining the derived quantities in terms of the base quantities. In this International Standard
and in the SI, there are seven base quantities and seven base units. The base quantities are length, mass,
time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. The
corresponding base units are the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela,
respectively. The definitions of these base units, and their practical realization, are at the heart of the SI

Measures, the CIPM (from the French: Comité international des poids et mesures). The current
definitions of the base units, and advice for their practical realization, are presented in the SI

0.1 Quantities units, each of which has a specific definition, the base quantities are simply chosen by convention and
no attempt is made to define them otherwise then operationally.
