(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
