The document defines the standard metric units for mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, and luminous intensity. It also lists the metric prefixes and their associated powers of 10, from tera (10^12) down to femto (10^-15). The kilogram, meter, second, kelvin, ampere, and candela are the base metric units, while the prefixes are used to denote multiples or submultiples of the standards, such as kilo for 1000 and milli for 0.001.
