Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation of the metric system within the United Kingdom. Psychological, administrative as well as technical aspects of metrication are discussed. At the present time, the British Government supports the metric change, but is relying on industry to execute the program. Implementation and publicity of metrication is discussed in terms of trade and general acceptance.
