1 | Radioactivity (of radionuclide) | becquerel | Bq | The becquerel is the radioactivity of a source of radiation in which the quotient of the expected value of the number of spontaneous nuclear displacements or isomeric displacements and the duration of time during which these displacements occur advances to the limit of 1/s. 1Bq = 1s-1 | |||
2 | Absorbed dose | Gray | Gy | The gray is the dose absorbed in a material quantity of 1 kilogram which receives an energy of 1 joule from ionizing radiations under constant energy flux conditions. 1Gy = 1J/kg = 1m2.s-2 | |||
3 | Dose equivalent | sievert | Sv | The sievert is the equivalent dose in a tissue quantity of 1 kilogram which receives an energy of 1 joule from ionizing radiations with a quality factor value of 1 with regard to the assessment of the equivalent dose against the biological effects of charged particles which produce the absorbed dose and their energy flux is constant. 1Sv = 1J/kg = 1m2.s-2 | |||
4 | Kerma | gray | Gy | The gray is a kerma in a material quality of 1 kilogram which receives a total initial kinetic energy of 1 joule freed by charged ionized particles under constant energy flux conditions. 1Gy = 1J/kg = 1m2.s-2 | |||
5 | Exposure | Coulomb per kilogram | C/kg | Coulomb per kilogram is the exposure of the photonic ionizing radiation generated in 1 kilogram of air of ions of the same sign having a total charge of 1 coulomb when all electrons (positive and negative), freed by photons in the air, stop completely there and all of their energy flux remains in the air. 1C/kg = 1kg-1.s.A | |||

Notes:
1. In the above table, the SI units are placed under unbroken line (---), other units under broken line (---).
2. The way of writing the names and symbols of units shall comply with the following principles:
a/ The name of a unit is written in lower-case letters, though it derives from a proper name. For example: meter, second, ampere, kelvin, pascal…
b/ Generally, the symbol of a unit is written in lower-case letters, except for cases where the unit name derives from a proper name, the first letter in the symbol is capitalized. For example: m, s, A, K, Pa…
c/ When a unit is formed by multiplying two or more units, the raised dot (in language systems having limited characters, a normal dot can be used) or a one-character space will be used to indicate this multiplication.
For example: The symbol of newton meter is N.m or Nm.
d/ When a unit is formed by one unit divided by another unit, a dash (—), a slash (/) or
a negative power will be used to indicate this division. For example: The symbol of meter per second is
m
—, or m/s or m.s-1 or ms-1
s
Particularly for cases where the slash is followed by a multiplying or dividing mark, such marks
must be put in blankets. For example: The symbol of joule per kilogram kelvin is J(kg.K), or
J
—— or J.kg-1.K-1.
kg.K
B. Decimal multiples and submultiples of SI units:
The names (or symbols) of the decimal multiples and submultiples of the SI units are formed by joining before the name (or symbol) or a SI unit one name (or symbol) in the table below:
Name | Symbol | Factor |
multiples | ||
yotta | Y | 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 = 1024 |
zetta | Z | 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 = 1021 |
exa | E | 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 = 1018 |
peta | P | 1 000 000 000 000 000 = 1015 |
tera | T | 1 000 000 000 000 = 1012 |
giga | G | 1 000 000 000 = 109 |
mega | M | 1 000 000 = 106 |
kilo | k | 1 000 = 103 |
hector | h | 100 = 102 |
deca | da | 10 = 10 |

deci | d | 0.1 = 10-1 |
centi | c | 0.01 = 10-2 |
mili | m | 0.001 = 10-3 |
micro | | 0.000 001 = 10-6 |
nano | n | 0.000 000 001 = 10-9 |
pico | p | 0.000 000 000 001 = 10-12 |
femto | f | 0.000 000 000 000 001 = 10-15 |
atto | a | 0.000 000 000 000 000 001 =10-18 |
zepto | z | 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001= 10-21 |
yocto | y | 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 001 =10-24 |
Notes:
1. The name (or symbol) of a decimal multiple or submultiple comes right before the name (or symbol) of a unit (without a space). For example: milimeter (mm), kilometer (km).
Particularly for the name (or symbol) of a multiple or submultiple of a mass unit, it will be formed by placing before the name (or symbol) of the "gram" unit (or its symbol g) a name (or symbol) in the above table (1 g= 0.001 kg = 10-3 kg).
2. Not to join two names (or symbols) of the multiples or submultiples in the above table. For example: m).nanometer (nm) will be used for 10-9 , but not milimicrometer (m
