2   mm/s, but not m/ks
         (5)      Only a single SI Prefix may be used to form a multiple of a derived Australian legal unit of measurement.
         (6)      The product symbol is:
            (a)   a dot (·);
            (b)   if the resulting expression is unambiguous — a full stop (.); or
            (c)   if the symbol for an Australian legal unit of measurement is not the same as an SI prefix — a space.
         Example   Thermal resistivity (metre kelvin per watt): m·K/W, not m K/W which may be confused with millikelvin per watt (mK/W).
         (7)      The product symbol must be used only with symbols that represent Australian legal units of measurement.
Example   N·m or N m, but not Newton·meter
         (8)      An Australian legal unit of measurement derived from the division of 2 other Australian legal units of measurement may be expressed using an oblique stroke (/), a horizontal line or a negative exponent to produce an unambiguous expression.
Example   m/s,  or m·s-1
         (9)      The oblique stroke must not be repeated on a line unless ambiguity is avoided by the use of parentheses.  In a complex expression, negative exponents or parentheses must be used.
