Metric Handbook for Federal Officials: Recommendations of the Interagency Committee on Metric Policy

摘要

The document contains recommendations for introduction of metric units in proposed legislation, regulations, data requests and other Government use of measurement units. These recommendations were developed for the Interagency Committee on Metric Policy by its working arm, the Metrication Operating Committee, and its Metric Practice and Preferred Units Subcommittee. Assistance in editing of the documents, coordination and publication in the Federal Register was provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Metric Programs, which serves as the secretariat for the ICMP and its subordinate committees. Other Federal documents are provided for convenient reference as appendices.
