Wiz, here is a reference that is obviously authoritative. This is located at the web site of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt at http://www.ptb.de/de/publikationen/_download.html >From there, open the pdf document, "Die gesetzlichen Einheiten in Deutschland", linked at the bottom of the page. Then look at the bottom of page 4 (of the 10 pages in that document).
I got there from my "SI in German" page at http://www.cofc.edu/~frysingj/SI_german.htm which is similar to my "SI in German" page at http://www.metricmethods.com/SI_german.html At those two sites are similar pages in other languages, including Russian, which might also interest you.
