Aim: To provide the students with an overview over the structure of the SI unit system, to give them an understanding of the utilisation of the system to make measurements of physical and chemical quantities internationally comparable, and to enable them to analyse the relevant measurement technique for a given problem.

Contents: SI system: Fundamental and derived units; history of the SI system; coherence of the system, nomenclature. Measurements: Traceability; primary and reference standards; statistical and systematic uncertainty; the BIPM method. Definition, implementation, and maintenance of selected units: Second - Cesium clock; meter - Iodine-stabilized HeNe-laser; kilogram/mol; volt - Josephson effect; ohm - quantized Hall effect; kelvin - ITS-90 scale. Practical modules: An actual measurement with subsequent setting up of an uncertainty budget. Industrial relevance of measorements
