##### SOLUTION

It should have international acceptance.

It should be of a convenient size.

It should be accepted by general conference of the measurement and units.

The S.I system is a decimal system with each component a multiple of 10. E.g $1 kg = 10^3$ gram

The S.I units are coherent, that is there is only one unit for each quantity , and units of different quantities are combined without conversion factors.

The S. I system is a rational system.
