DIN EN ISO 80000-10 2013-08 PDF

Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 80000-10 2013-08 — Quantities and units — Part 10: Atomic and nuclear physics. This document is the EN/DIN adoption (2013) of ISO 80000‑10 (original international standard giving names, symbols, definitions and units used in atomic and nuclear physics).

Abstract

This part of ISO 80000 specifies quantities, names, symbols, definitions and units commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics and, where appropriate, gives conversion factors. Information is presented in tabular form (quantities on left pages, corresponding units on right pages) and is intended to promote uniform usage of symbols and units across publications, instrumentation and technical documents.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / replaced by a later edition (see Related standards).
• Publication date: 01 August 2013 (DIN/EN adoption date).
• Publisher: Originally ISO (ISO/TC 12); adopted and published as a national/European edition by DIN (as DIN EN ISO). STB indicates a country-specific listing/adoption title used in some catalogues.
• ICS / categories: 01.060 — Quantities and units.
• Edition / version: EN/DIN adoption of ISO 80000‑10 (based on ISO 80000‑10:2009; published as EN ISO/DIN EN ISO 80000‑10 in 2013).
• Number of pages: 81 pages (as published in the 2013 EN/DIN edition catalogues).

Scope

Specifies names, symbols and definitions of quantities used in atomic and nuclear physics and lists the units in which those quantities are expressed; includes conversion factors where appropriate. The standard is intended to harmonize notation and unit usage in scientific literature, technical reports and instrumentation related to atomic and nuclear physics. Tables are arranged so that quantities and corresponding units are presented side by side for easy reference.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and recommended symbols for atomic and nuclear physics quantities (e.g., atomic mass, isotopic notation, nuclear reaction quantities).
• Prescribed units (SI and derived units) and, where useful, non‑SI units with conversion factors.
• Presentation rules and arrangement of tables (quantities on left pages, units on right pages) to ensure consistent formatting.
• Guidance on dimensionless quantities and use of coherent units (treatment of plane/solid angles and dimensionless derived units).
• References to related parts of the ISO 80000 series and to superseded ISO 31 material incorporated or updated in this part.

Typical use and users

Used by physicists (atomic, nuclear), metrologists, laboratories, instrument and detector manufacturers, standards developers, technical editors, and academic authors to ensure consistent symbols, definitions and unit usage in publications, measurement reports, software and equipment specifications.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 80000 series (Quantities and units). This 2013 EN/DIN adoption of ISO 80000‑10 was later superseded by ISO 80000‑10:2019 (and national adoptions such as DIN EN ISO 80000‑10:2020‑02). ISO 80000 replaces earlier ISO 31 parts (ISO 31‑9 and ISO 31‑10). Users should refer to the latest edition of ISO 80000‑10 for current definitions and any published amendments.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the EN/DIN adoption (2013) of ISO 80000‑10, the part of the ISO 80000 series that defines quantities, symbols, definitions and units used in atomic and nuclear physics.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Names and symbols of quantities in atomic and nuclear physics, the units in which they are expressed (primarily SI and coherent derived units), definitions and useful conversion factors; presented in tabular form for consistency and ease of reference.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Researchers and practitioners in atomic and nuclear physics, metrology and testing laboratories, instrumentation manufacturers, standards writers, technical editors and educators who need a consistent set of symbols and units.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2013 EN/DIN adoption has been withdrawn/superseded by a later edition of ISO 80000‑10 (ISO 80000‑10:2019 at the international level, with subsequent national adoptions such as DIN EN ISO 80000‑10 published in 2020). Users are advised to consult the 2019 edition (and any amendments) for the current normative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 10 of the ISO 80000 series “Quantities and units.” The series covers many areas of science and engineering (e.g., general, mathematical signs, space and time, mechanics, thermodynamics, light, acoustics, physical chemistry, solid state physics, electromagnetism, information science, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Atomic physics, nuclear physics, quantities, units, symbols, definitions, SI units, conversion factors, ISO 80000.
