The 13th Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM)

considering that it is useful to add some derived units to the list of paragraph 4 of Resolution 12 of the 11th CGPM (1960),

decides to add:

wave number 1 per metre m–1
entropy joule per kelvin J/K
specific heat capacity joule per kilogram kelvin J/(kg × K)
thermal conductivity watt per metre kelvin W/(m × K)
radiant intensity watt per steradian W/sr
activity (of a radioactive source) 1 per second s–1
