I do not understand what you mean by 'more specific'. Are you asking for more text in the quote, or less?
I am asking for the bibliographic reference of your statement. I was unable to find it in the www posting that you mentioned, which was to a posting about the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, not from NIST, Incidentalloy, I do not accept American statements about metric matters. I only accept BIPM and ISO documents as authoritative.
