	SI derived units*		(5)	(7)

The 13th Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM)

considering that it is useful to add some derived units to the list of paragraph 4 of Resolution 12 of the 11th CGPM (1960),

decides to add:

wave number	1 per metre	m^–1
entropy	joule per kelvin	J/K
specific heat capacity	joule per kilogram kelvin	J/(kg × K)
thermal conductivity	watt per metre kelvin	W/(m × K)
radiant intensity	watt per steradian	W/sr
activity (of a radioactive source)	1 per second	s^–1
