Jim, My understanding of this directive is that anything associated with the product, be it labels, specs, manuals, sales brochures, packages, etc., must use the SI system exclusively. This means anything published or in print, no exceptions. I hope this does not also restrict verbal communication.
At my company we currently have a dual system of SI and the "old" English system in operating specs in the user manuals. We intend to continue at least through 1998 this way and hope to have a plan in place to have everthing SI'ed by the end of 1998. Doug Powell Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. Ft.

How many of the following "packaging" type items are within its scope: - product labels - boxes - owner's manuals - service manuals - brochures - advertising Also does anyone know if there is any middle ground? Perhaps the clutter of interspersing metric and imperial (for lack of a better term) units is the problem, in which case physical segregation would be a possible solution. Thanks for your help.
