ISO 31

The standard comes in 14 parts: • ISO 31-0: General principles (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-1:2009) • 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) • ISO 31-5: Electricity and magnetism (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-6) • ISO 31-6: Light and related electromagnetic radiations (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-7) • ISO 31-7: Acoustics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-8:2007) • ISO 31-8: Physical chemistry and molecular physics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-9) • ISO 31-9: Atomic and nuclear physics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-10) • ISO 31-10: Nuclear reactions and ionizing radiations (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-10) • 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 (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-11) • ISO 31-13: Solid state physics (replaced by ISO/IEC 80000-12) 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 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20090301164428/http://www.iec.ch/zone/si/si_present.htm) 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. Some of these words have been used in scientific literature. ==Related national standards==

• 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. ==See also==
