     It is not permissible to use abbreviations for unit symbols or unit names, such as sec (for either s or second), sq. mm (for either mm² or square millimetre), cc (for either cm³ or cubic centimetre), or mps (for either m/s or metre per second).

• cc for "cubic centimeter" is language-dependent, and is not approved by the BIPM. It is also deprecated by several standards organizations in the health care profession. The symbols cm³ or mL should be used instead.
