(a) Although the neper is coherent with SI units and is
accepted by the CIPM, it has not been adopted by the General Conference
on Weights and Measures (CGPM, Conférence Générale des Poids et
Mesures) and is thus not an SI unit.
(z) Other
units outside the SI that are currently accepted for use with the SI by
NIST which are subject to future review
