I did not know that US businesses are forbidden from using metric-only by the 'people in blue with guns' as Jim might have put it. I wanted to learn more so I typed UPLR into a search engine. That came up with the following websites: http://www.metricmethods.com/UPLR_adoption.html http://metric1.org/frindexm.htm That showed status as at 2000 April 27 and some of the states listed were moving towards adoption of metric only labelling in 2000/2001. Has progress been made? Then I did a search on the NIST website and found their fact sheet on metric labelling: "Metric Only Quantity Declarations are not Permitted in Most Cases" http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/230/235/metric.htm I am now a bit confused. What is the real situation? -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
