When the metric system was further rationalised in 1960, resulting in the International System of Units (), the ''are'' was not included as a recognised unit.

Though the dekare/decare daa (1,000 m2) and are (100 m2) are not officially "accepted for use", they are still used in some contexts. Description The hectare (), although not a unit of SI, is ...
