They am not necessarily members of the Institute. Th

8、e standards developed within IEEE represent aconsensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE whichhave expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard.Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence

9、 of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no otherways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEEStandard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to changebrought ab

10、out through developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. EveryIEEE Standard is subjected to review at least once every ve years for revision or reafrmation. When a document ismore than ve years old, and has not been reafrmed, it is reasonable to conclude tha

11、t its contents, although still ofsome value, do not wholly reect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they havethe latest edition of any IEEE Standard.Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership aflia

12、tionwith IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together withappropriate supporting comments.Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate tospecic applications. When the need fo

13、r interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiateaction to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned interests, it isimportant to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interes

14、ts. For this reasonIEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requestsexcept in those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

16、 Reserved1An American National StandardIEEE Recommended Practice for Preferred Metric Units for Use in Electrical and Electronics Science and Technology1. PurposeThe purpose of this recommended practice is to aid in the selection of metric units so as to promote uniformity in theuse of metric units

17、and to limit the number of different metric units that will be used in electrical and electronicsscience and technology. ANSI/IEEE Std 268-1982, American National Standard Metric Practice, prescribes howmetric units are to be used and gives guidance concerning correct metric practice.Table 1Multiple
