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:

    “We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    “It is a relief to read some true book, wherein all are equally dead,—equally alive. I think the best parts of Shakespeare would only be enhanced by the most thrilling and affecting events. I have found it so. And so much the more, as they are not intended for consolation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Yea, worse than death: death parts both woe and joy:
    From joy I part, still living in annoy.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
