Overview

ISO 80000-11:2019/Amd 1:2025 is an important amendment to the international standard ISO 80000-11:2019, titled Quantities and Units - Part 11: Characteristic Numbers. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this document updates and refines definitions, units, and conventions related to characteristic numbers used in scientific, engineering, and technical contexts. It aligns characteristic numbers with the International System of Units (SI) to ensure consistency, clarity, and international interoperability in measurement and technical communication.

This amendment is essential for professionals working with quantities and units in fields such as physics, engineering, and metrology who require authoritative guidance on characteristic numbers and their standardized notation.

Key Topics

  • Integration with SI Units
    This amendment incorporates references to the latest edition of the International System of Units (the 9th edition, 2019), ensuring that all characteristic number quantities conform to the most current SI framework.

  • Updated Terms and Definitions
    Revised terms and definitions clarify the names, symbols, and units associated with characteristic numbers, as specified in detailed tables (Tables 1 to 6). These updates provide precise and uniform terminology across industries.

  • Normative References
    The amendment replaces the prior statement of having no normative references and explicitly includes the SI Brochure (BIPM, 9th edition, 2019) as a normative document. This change strengthens the linkage between characteristic numbers and the international measurement system.

  • Standardization Governance
    Produced by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 12 (Quantities and Units) in collaboration with IEC/TC 25 and CEN, the amendment reflects a consensus-driven update informed by global experts in standardization.

Applications

ISO 80000-11:2019/Amd 1:2025 supports a wide range of practical applications, including:

  • Scientific Research
    Enables scientists to accurately and unambiguously express characteristic numbers such as Reynolds number, Mach number, or other dimensionless parameters important for experimental and theoretical analyses.

  • Engineering and Design
    Assists engineers in correctly using standardized quantities during the design, testing, and optimization of systems, especially in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and other areas relying on characteristic numbers.

  • International Trade and Compliance
    Facilitates compliance with internationally recognized measurement standards, improving communication and reducing technical barriers in the exchange of scientific and engineering data.

  • Instrumentation and Calibration
    Ensures that instrument manufacturers and calibration laboratories apply consistent definitions and units, fostering interoperability and reliability in measurement devices.

Related Standards

The amendment is part of the broader ISO 80000 series, which addresses quantities and units across various physical domains. Related standards include:

  • ISO 80000-1:2009 – General principles for quantities and units
  • ISO 80000-2:2019 – Mathematical signs and symbols
  • ISO 80000-13:2008 – Solid state physics quantities and units
  • BIPM SI Brochure (9th Edition, 2019) – International System of Units, providing foundational definitions referenced in this amendment

By adhering to ISO 80000-11:2019/Amd 1:2025, organizations and professionals ensure that the use and communication of characteristic numbers meet rigorous international standards, promoting precision, interoperability, and clarity in global scientific and technical endeavors.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
