(5) | the Annex shall be amended as follows:
(a) | in Chapter I, point 1.1, the paragraph entitled ‘Unit of thermodynamic temperature’ shall be replaced by the following:
‘Unit of thermodynamic temperature
The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273,16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
This definition refers to water having the isotopic composition defined by the following amount-of-substance ratios: 0,00015576 mole of 2H per mole of 1H, 0,0003799 mole of 17O per mole of 16O and 0,0020052 mole of 18O per mole of 16O.

(f) | in Chapter II, the following row shall be deleted from the table:
‘Land registration | acre | 1 ac = 4 047 m2 | ac’ |
|
(g) | in Chapter II, the final sentence shall be replaced by the following: ‘The units listed in this Chapter may be combined with each other or with those in Chapter I to form compound units.’ |
