| Unit of length | metre | The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. |
| Unit of mass | kilogram | The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram. |
| Unit of time | second | The second is the duration of 1 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium - 133 atom. |
| Unit of electric current | ampere | The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 ✖ 10⁻⁷ newton per metre of length. |
| Unit of thermodynamic temperature | kelvin | The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water. |
| Unit of amount of substance | mole | 1. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12; its symbol is "mol." 2. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified of such particles. |
| Unit of luminous intensity | candela | The candela is the luminous intnsity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 ✖ 10¹² hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian. |
