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:

    “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)

    “Three parts of him
    Is ours already, and the man entire
    Upon the next encounter yields him ours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors
    that makes the now separate parts useless,
    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
