The Metrication Ordinance (Chinese: t=十進制條例|j=sap6 zeon3 zai3 tiu4 lai6) was enacted in 1976 in Hong Kong. The law allowed a gradual replacement of the Imperial units and Chinese units of measurement in favour of the International System of Units Metric System. The adoption was facilitated under the government's Metrication Committee.[1]
Decades after the enactment of the law, Hong Kong still has not yet fully completed the metrication process. Wet markets continue to use Chinese or imperial units to this day.
