ISO/IEC 80000

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from ISO/IEC 80000-6)

ISO/IEC 80000, Quantities and units, is an international standard describing the International System of Quantities (ISQ). It was developed and promulgated jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It serves as a style guide for using physical quantities and units of measurement, formulas involving them, and their corresponding units, in scientific and educational documents for worldwide use. The ISO/IEC 80000 family of standards was completed with the publication of the first edition of Part 1 in November 2009.[1][2]

Overview

[edit]

By 2021, ISO/IEC 80000 comprised 13 parts, two of which (parts 6 and 13) were developed by IEC and the remaining 11 were developed by ISO, with a further three parts (15, 16 and, 17) under development. Part 14 was withdrawn.

Subject areas

[edit]

By 2021 the 80000 standard had 13 published parts. A description of each part is available online, with the complete parts for sale.[20][21]

Part 1: General

[edit]

ISO 80000-1:2022 revised ISO 80000-1:2009, which replaced ISO 31-0:1992 and ISO 1000:1992.[22] This document gives general information and definitions concerning quantities, systems of quantities, units, quantity and unit symbols, and coherent unit systems, especially the International System of Quantities (ISQ).[3] The descriptive text of this part is available online.[23][24]

Part 2: Mathematics

[edit]

ISO 80000-2:2019 revised ISO 80000-2:2009,[4] which superseded ISO 31-11.[25] It specifies mathematical symbols, explains their meanings, and gives verbal equivalents and applications. The descriptive text of this part is available online.[26]

Part 3: Space and time

[edit]

ISO 80000-3:2019 revised ISO 80000-3:2006,[5] which supersedes ISO 31-1 and ISO 31-2.[27] It gives names, symbols, definitions and units for quantities of space and time. The descriptive text of this part is available online.[28]

A definition of the decibel, included in the original 2006 publication, was omitted in the 2019 revision, leaving ISO/IEC 80000 without a definition of this unit; a new part of the standard, IEC 80000-15 (Logarithmic and related quantities), is under development.

Part 6: Electromagnetism

[edit]

IEC 80000-6:2022 revised IEC 80000-6:2008,[8] which superseded ISO 31-5[33] as well as IEC 60027-1. It gives names, symbols, and definitions for quantities and units of electromagnetism. The descriptive text of this part is available online.[34]

It includes definitions of the following quantities:

Part 13: Information science and technology

[edit]

IEC 80000-13:2008 was reviewed and confirmed in 2022 and published in 2008, and replaced subclauses 3.8 and 3.9 of IEC 60027-2:2005 and IEC 60027-3.[15] It defines quantities and units used in information science and information technology, and specifies names and symbols for these quantities and units. It has a scope; normative references; names, definitions, and symbols; and prefixes for binary multiples.

The standard also includes definitions for units relating to information technology, such as the erlang (E), bit (bit), octet (o), byte (B), baud (Bd), shannon (Sh), hartley (Hart), and the natural unit of information (nat).

Clause 4 of the standard defines standard binary prefixes used to denote powers of 1024 as 10241 (kibi-), 10242 (mebi-), 10243 (gibi-), 10244 (tebi-), 10245 (pebi-), 10246 (exbi-), 10247 (zebi-), and 10248 (yobi-).

International System of Quantities

[edit]
Main article: International System of Quantities

Part 1 of ISO 80000 introduces the International System of Quantities and describes its relationship with the International System of Units (SI). Specifically, its introduction states "The system of quantities, including the relations among the quantities used as the basis of the units of the SI, is named the International System of Quantities, denoted 'ISQ', in all languages." It further clarifies 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'."

Units of the ISO and IEC 80000 series

[edit]

The standard includes all SI units but is not limited to only SI units. Units that form part of the standard but not the SI include the units of information storage (bit and byte), units of entropy (shannon, natural unit of information and hartley), and the erlang (a unit of traffic intensity).

The standard includes all SI prefixes as well as the binary prefixes kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, etc., originally introduced by the International Electrotechnical Commission to standardise binary multiples of byte such as mebibyte (MiB), for 10242 bytes, to distinguish them from their decimal counterparts such as megabyte (MB), for precisely 1 million (10002) bytes. In the standard, the application of the binary prefixes is not limited to units of information storage. For example, a frequency 10 octaves above 1 hertz, i.e., 210 Hz (1024 Hz), is 1 kibihertz (1 KiHz).[40] These binary prefixes were standardized first in a 1999 addendum to IEC 60027-2. The harmonized IEC 80000-13:2008 standard cancels and replaces subclauses 3.8 and 3.9 of IEC 60027-2:2005, which had defined the prefixes for binary multiples. The only significant change in IEC 80000-13 is the addition of explicit definitions for some quantities.
