GoodRelations uses UN/CEFACT Common Codes for units of measurements, like MTR for meters, HUR for hours, etc.

For a full list, see

	• List of all UN/CEFACT Recommendations (scroll down to "Recommendation N°. 20 ")
Recommendation N°. 20 - Codes for Units of Measure Used in International Trade

http://www.unece.org/cefact/recommendations/rec_index.htm

A summary of very important codes is at
     http://www.heppnetz.de/projects/goodrelations/primer/#6_ANNEX:_POPULAR_UN.2FCEFACT_COMMON_CODES

Note that this is a link from the now outdated GoodRelations Primer.

> What does C62 relate to?

C62 is the UN/CEFACT Common Code for "no unit" or "piece".
