36 CFR Part 1195 Standards for Accessible Medical Diagnostic Equipment - Preamble

M101.7 Units of Measurement (Section-by-Section Analysis)

In the MDE NPRM there was no explanation of the units of measurement used throughout the rule text. In order to avoid confusion and to align this final rule with the other accessibility guidelines and standards promulgated by the Access Board; this provision has been added to explain that the values stated in each system (U.S. customary and metric units) may not be exact equivalents, and each system must be used independently of the other.
