With you so far...

Still with you...

Now this is where we diverge. I regard the terms 'metric' and 'SI' as
synonyms. This is because of phrases such as 'the International System
of Units, which is the modern form of the metric system'. Am I mistaken?

Thus I have treated 'accepted for use with the International System' as
identical in meaning to 'accepted for use with the metric system'.
