Synopsis : The biennial review of atomic weight, determinations and other cognate data has resulted in changes for the standard atomic weight of the following elements: boron, carbon, fluorine, sodium, aluminium, phosphorus, scandium, manganese, cobalt, arsenic, rhodium, caesium, cerium, praseodymium, europium, terbium, holmium, thulium, platinum, gold, and bismuth.

An annotation for potassium has been changed in the Table of Standard Atomic Weights. To eliminate possible confusion in the reporting of relative lithium isotope-ratio data, the Commission recommends that such data be expressed using 7Li/6Li ratios and that reporting using 6Li/7Li ratios be discontinued. Because relative isotope-ratio data for sulfur are commonly being expressed on non-corresponding scales, the Commission recommends that such isotopic data be expressed relative to VCDT (Vienna Ca�on Diablo Troilite) on a scale such that 34S/32S of IAEA�S�1 silver sulfide is 0.9997 times that of VCDT. Many elements have a different isotopic composition in some non�terrestrial materials. Some recent data on of oxygen are included in this report for the information of the interested scientific community.
