The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric
system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of
instrumentation standards. The Department willendeavor to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all
new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical reports to the greatest extent
possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System,
published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ASTM SI 10-97, and future revisions,
will be the reference guide for definitions,symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and
interests in the development of ISA standards, recommended practices, and technical reports.
Participation in the ISA standards-making process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by
the employer of that individual, of ISA, or of anyof the standards, recommended practices, and technical
reports that ISA develops.
