Terms of reference

Acknowledging the current status of angle within the SI Brochure as not being a base unit (Section 2.3.3), the CCU-TG-ADQSIB will:

  • review the 9th Edition of the SI Brochure and highlight the parts (text, tables, footnotes, etc) relevant to angle and dimensionless quantities;
  • decide whether the parts identified could be improved to aid understanding;
  • attempt to reach consensus on updated entries for those parts where improvement would be beneficial;
  • consider whether a new, additional Appendix to the SI Brochure would be useful to explain more fully the special considerations for angle and dimensionless quantities;
  • review the historical use of SI supplementary units and consider whether reintroduction would be of benefit (for the units radians, steradians and one);
  • present the outcomes in the form of a short report and list of proposals to the next CCU meeting and also provide progress updates to the CCU Working Group on Strategy.
