• Other units outside the SI are currently accepted for use with the SI by NIST. Their continued use is not encouraged. Because of the continued wide use of these units in the United States, NIST still accepts their use with the SI.

• When these are used in the SDCS, we refer to them simply as temporary units.

• Their use is acceptable but is to be discouraged.
