Current legislation
As of 2009, the European Union had issued two units of measurement directives. In 1971, it issued Directive 71/354/EEC,[1] which required EU member states to standardise on the International System of Units (SI) rather than use a variety of CGS and MKS units then in use. The second, which replaced the first, was Directive 80/181/EEC, enacted in 1979[2] and later amended several times (in 1984,[3] 1989,[4] 2000[5] and 2009[6]), which issued a number of derogations to the United Kingdom and Ireland based on the former directive.
