About the units
Hours. An hour is 60 minutes, 3,600 seconds. Like the minute it is not an SI unit but is one of the long-standing units of time in the SI Brochure, and the EU units directive treats it as a legal unit. Since combinations of legal units are legal in turn, the kilometre per hour and the kilowatt-hour follow directly: a kilowatt-hour is exactly 3.6 megajoules because the hour is exactly 3,600 seconds. The symbol is h, lower case and without a full stop. At the daylight-saving change a local day has 23 or 25 hours.
Minutes. A minute is 60 seconds. It is not an SI unit, but the SI Brochure lists it among the long-standing units of time, and the EU units directive lists it among the legal units. EU type-approval papers use it the other way round: engine speed is written min⁻¹. The symbol is min, not m, which is the metre, and not ′, which is the arcminute. No prefix may be attached to the minute.
