SI base unit referenced to the values of the fundamental constants, namely the Planck constant ("h"), the electron charge ("e"), the Boltzmann constant ("k"), and the Avogadro constant ("N"). This approach was approved in 2018, only after measurements of these constants were achieved with sufficient accuracy. SI base unit The International System of Units (SI) defines seven units of measure as a basic set from which all other SI units can be derived. The SI base units and their physical quantities are the meter for measurement of length, the kilogram for mass, the second for time, the ampere for electric current, the kelvin
SI derived unit SI derived unit SI derived units are units of measurement derived from the seven base units specified by the International System of Units (SI). They are either dimensionless or can be expressed as a product of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation. The SI has special names for 22 of these derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m or kg
