Notes

Units derived from SI base units may be expressed in terms of the units listed in this Schedule.

In particular, SI derived units may be expressed by the special names and symbols given in the above table; for example, the SI unit of dynamic viscosity may be expressed as m^-1. kg.s^-1 or N.s.m^-2 or Pa.s.

*Special names for the unit of power: the name volt-ampere (symbol “VA”) when it is used to express the apparent power of alternating electric current, and var (symbol “var”) when it is used to express reactive electric power.”
