For instance, in Table 5, the unit for &#8220;electrical resistance&#8221; has changed the symbol from &#8220;O&#8221; to &#8220;W&#8221; for ohm. In Table 8, the prefixes &#8220;deca,&#8221; &#8220;hecto,&#8221; and &#8220;kilo&#8221; have been adjusted to &#8220;da,&#8221; &#8220;h,&#8221; and &#8220;k,&#8221; respectively.
