I think it is somewhat misleading to say that ISO/IEC 80000 (no space
used to group digits) primarily succeeds ISO 1000, Stan. ISO 1000 was
replaced by ISO 80000-1 (Part 1 of ISO/IEC 80000). But there are another
13 parts to that ISO/IEC 80000 series.
ISO 1000 essentially provided a parallel standard for the SI, that is
the international system of units. "Describes the International System
of Units SI, recommends selected decimal multiples and submultiples for
general use, gives certain other units which may be used with the SI,
and quotes the definitions of the SI base units."
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=5448
ISO 31 (series) provided a standard for quantities. ISO 31-1 of that
provided the quantities used as the basis for the SI and those
collectively are known as the ISQ, the International System of
Quantities. That is now covered by ISO 80000-1
Like ISO 31, ISO/IEC 80000 comprises more than a dozen parts. ISO/IEC
80000 results from the harmonization of ISO 31 and IEC 60027.
http://www.iec.ch/zone/si/si_present.htm
This reference shows the correspondence of each 80000 part to its
origins. For example, Part 1 of the 80000 series originates from ISO
31-1 and ISO 31-2.
As that reference points out, each part of the 80000 series will be
prefixed as either ISO or IEC, but not ISO/IEC. Parts 6, 13, and 14 will
be prefixed as IEC with the remaining eleven parts (1 through 5, 7
through 12) prefixed as ISO. The joint ISO/IEC prefix is used to
indicate the series.

ISO 80 000 is a successor to, primarily, ISO 1000. The "new ISO 1000" ,
i.e. ISO 80 000 contains, in addition to all ISO 1000 material, also
material from related documents, such ISO 31.
ISO 1000 existed for some 1/2 century.

Dear Pat,
Yes, ISO/IEC 80000 is the successor to ISO 31. Like its predecessor
it comprises over a dozen parts. This new standard is nearly
complete now and ISO 31 is close to being completely obsolete.
IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 14 (SCC 14) is developing a
parallel standard which will be known as IEEE Std 80000. Whereas
ISO/IEC 80000 is a dual language document (French and English)
similar to ISO 31, IEEE Std 80000 will be in English only. Also,
American language spellings will be used and the period, not the
comma, will be used for the decimal marker. We will make other,
minor changes as well. See USMA's "Metric Today" on this.
Members of SCC 14 serve as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
to the committees ISO/TC 12 and IEC/TC 25 that are working on the
development of ISO/IEC 80000. Thus we are in good position to
develop IEEE Std 80000. We will put our standard up to ANSI to make
it an American National Standard. Ambler Thompson (NIST) chairs the
U.S. TAG as well as being the Vice Chair of SCC 14 and the Chair of
our 80000 Working Group.

Dear Jim,
Do you know what ISO 80 000 is? Is it a direct replacement for
ISO 31?
