The values are derived from the consistent set of constants which were produced by E.R. Cohen & B.N. Taylor (CODATA Bull. no. 63 (1986)) in collaboration with the CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Physical Constants and were subsequently recommended for general adoption by CODATA. This reference must be included when these constants are used in a context where their full accuracy is important. The number in parenthesis after each value is the estimated standard-deviation uncertainty of the last digit quoted.
