6ifferent to that used in the rest of Europe
5s based on a random series of numbers
as adopted internationally in #=48

#;. "he S5 unit of stress is the Newton per square metre &NBmC(, therefore:
#3NBmC ? #8NBmmC
#NBmC ? #tonBinchC
#3NBmC ? #NBmmC
#NBmC ? #8tonBinchC
#>. DS5 recommend that S,&,,( of less than #888k! should be marked:
$s decimals of a tonne to three decimal places
5n kilo!rams to the nearest whole kilo!ram
5n increments of #8k! to that nearest the actual amount
$re too small for practical purposes and should not be used
#=. hen markin! S,&,,( !reater than #888k!, DS5 recommend:
3arkin! in tonnes to only one decimal place, e1cept for #.*/t
3arkin! whole tonnes and any remainder as kilo!rams
3arkin! only in kilo!rams
3arkin! in tonnes with three decimal places
