		As a result the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), in 1948, asked the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) to conduct an international study of the measurement needs of the scientific, technical, and educational communities.
		Based on the findings of this study, the 10th CGPM in 1954 decided that an international system should be derived from six base units to provide for the measurement of temperature and optical radiation in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic quantities.

		Seven years later, the 13th CGPM decided to change the name to simply “kelvin” (note the switch to lowercase) and the symbol to K, but allowed the older usage to continue for the time being.

		The 1889 definition of the meter, based upon the artifact international prototype of platinum-iridium, was replaced by the CGPM in 1960 using a definition based upon a wavelength of krypton-86 radiation.
		In turn, to further reduce the uncertainty, in 1983 the CGPM replaced this latter definition by the following definition: The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.
		Note that the effect of this definition is to fix the speed of light in vacuum at exactly 299 792 458 m·s-1.

		The CGPM is held every four years and is the forum where major changes to the international measurement system must be endorsed for universal acceptance.

		The 13th CGPM (1967, Resolution 3) also decided that the unit kelvin and its symbol K should be used to express both thermodynamic temperature and an interval or a difference of temperature.
		Considering that plane angle is generally expressed as the ratio between two lengths and solid angle as the ratio between an area and the square or a length, the CIPM (1990) specified that in the International System the quantities plane angle and solid angle should be considered as dimensionless derived quantities.
		Therefore, the supplementary units radian and steradian are to be regarded as dimensionless derived units which may be used or omitted in the expressions for derived units.
