Description: A unit of time that is equal to 60 seconds, using the current, or one of the historical, definitions of the SI units.

The minute unit appears in the International System of Units (SI), 1st ed. (1970) defined as "1 min = 60 s".

This is a generalized definition taken to reference the current, or one of the historical, SI unit definitions. This definition is intended for situations when it is not possible to be more precise, e.g., in contexts where data have been collected that uses different historical SI definitions.
