The paper sizes used for maps in North Carolina are defined by GS
47-30 as the
following:
18 in × 24 in (457 mm × 610 mm)
21 in × 30 in (533 mm × 762 mm)
24 in × 36 in (610 mm × 914 mm).
None of these is close to an A or B size. 914 mm is close to 917
mm, which is
one of the C size lengths, but the width is 648 mm, which doesn't
match. Is
there anyone in North Carolina who can help me get this law amended to
include ISO standard sizes in the list?

Dear Pierre,
To gather data and arguments to support your idea for changing the
North Carolina paper sizes might I suggest that you refer to an
article on this issue by Markus Kuhn that you will find at: http://
www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html
You can find out more about Markus from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/
