`NB`	These abbreviations are obtained form existing international standards wherever possible. Legislation is being introduced to phase out the use of imperial units following the 1989 Units of Measurement Directive 89/617/EEC. This will lead to amendments to the Weights and Measures Act 1985 and the Units of Measurement Regulations 1986. Certain exemptions will apply in the UK, but metric units are recommended for use in trade. Users requiring additional Units of Measure should refer to the United Nations Trade Data Element Directory (1987 edition), section 5.6; Codes for Units of Measurement used in International Trade.
