If you're referring to the information in the PTB document, it's supposed to be DIN. What else would it be? The SI standard does not, itself, dictate the names of the units in the various languages, just the universal symbols for them. The Deutsche Institut f�r Normung, as the German national standards body, must deal with the names. Perhaps you should get yourself a copy of DIN 1301.
