		The unit of mass is equal to the mass of the international prototype kilogram (a platinum-iridium cylinder) kept at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Sèvres, Paris (1st CGPM (1889), CR 34-38).
		The unit of time is the duration of exactly 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at a temperature of 0 K (13th CGPM (1967-1968) Resolution 1, CR 103).

		The six base units recommended were the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin degree (later renamed the kelvin), and the candela.
		The presence of these adjustments has been one reason advocates of the U.S. customary units had used against metrication; these customary units, however, are nowadays defined in terms of SI units, thus any difference in the definition of the SI units results in a difference of the definition of the customary units.

		The candela is one of two base units (the other being the ampere) that is not defined purely in terms of base units.

		Because SI unit names and abbreviations are linked, in use, to numbers, the choice between using a unit name and a unit abbreviation depends on how the number is expressed.
		When the unit abbreviation is used, the space should usually be a hard space, as discussed in the May 1997 tip.
		SI abbreviations are never terminated by periods (except when they fall at the end of a sentence).

		The combination of units of this table with SI units to form derived units should be restricted to special cases in order not to lose the advantages of the coherence of SI units.
		Another alternative would be to use the day as the base unit for prefixes, but to use a submultiple, such as a milliday or microday, for derived units, as is currently done with the kilogramme, and as was previously done with the centimetre in the cgs system.
		In addition to the base units for independent quantities, such as time interval, derived quantities and units are obtained from equations derived from the base units; for instance, a coulomb of electric charge is defined as one second times one ampere.

	Unit Conversion Tables
		The International System of Units (SI units) is rapidly becoming the most commonly used in the world.
		And the fact that in the SI system the unit of force is the Newton, while the kilogram is reserved strictly for mass, makes it important to designate whether a non-SI unit such as the pound is being used to describe mass or force (or weight).
		Thus the quantity often called "weight" is actually the mass, and must be properly described in mass units, the kilogram in SI units or the pound and ounce in English units.
