1 Field Inspection Manual Part: 4-Appendix Section: A Page: 1 of 6 The following tables list the acceptable symbols and definitions of units of measurement used for displays and printed receipts as well as the marking of devices. The symbols or abbreviations shown are the preferred ones, although in some cases, others may be acceptable. Internationally recognized (OIML, ISO, IEC, DIN) symbols or abbreviations are generally acceptable if they do not cause confusion. The symbols listed in the Unacceptable Symbols column are not appropriate and should not be used. Any marking which may be confused with other commonly used symbols or markings should also be avoided. Common Mass Symbols Unit Definition Symbol Unacceptable Symbol kilogram See W&M Act, Sch.
