TS EN ISO 80000-1
Quantities and units - Part 1: General
ISO 80000-1 gives general information and definitions concerning quantities, systems of quantities, units,
quantity and unit symbols, and coherent unit systems, especially the International System of Quantities, ISQ,
and the International System of Units, SI.
The principles laid down in ISO 80000-1 are intended for general use within the various fields of science and
technology, and as an introduction to other parts of this International Standard.
Ordinal quantities and nominal properties are outside the scope of ISO 80000-1.

About This Item
TS EN ISO 80000-1 is a withdrawn standard that establishes the general language of quantities and units. Its subject is the identification and organisation of quantities, quantity systems, units, quantity and unit symbols, and coherent unit systems, with particular attention to the International System of Quantities (ISQ) and the International System of Units (SI).
A common framework for measurement terminology
In general technical use, a quantity is a measurable attribute, while a unit is the agreed reference used to express its magnitude numerically. A coherent system of units helps derived units fit together consistently, which is important in calculation, engineering data exchange, and scientific writing. ISO 80000-1 provides the conceptual foundation for that shared language across many disciplines.
The standard’s principles are intended for broad use in science and technology and serve as an introduction to the other parts of ISO 80000. In other words, it focuses on the common structure behind quantities, symbols, and units rather than on field-specific measurement procedures. Ordinal quantities and nominal properties are outside its scope.
- ISQ: the system underlying the classification of quantities in a coherent framework
- SI: the internationally used system of units for measurement and technical communication
- Quantity and unit symbols: standard notation in formulas and technical documentation
- Coherent unit systems: systems in which derived units are built consistently
