* January: Bruce Barrow endorses the [[International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry]]'s proposal for prefixes {{brown|kibi}}, {{brown|mebi}}, {{brown|gibi}},
* IEEE requires prefixes to take the standard SI meaning (e.g., {{blue|mega}} always to mean 1000<sup>2</sup>). Exceptions for binary meaning ({{brown|mega}} to mean 1024<sup>2</sup>) are permitted as an interim measure (where pointed out on a case-by-case basis) until a binary prefix could be standardised.<ref>{{cite web |title=IEC prefixes and symbols for binary multiples |website=Members.optus.net |url=http://members.optus.net/alexey/prefBin.xhtml |access-date=2016-06-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161207182048/http://members.optus.net/alexey/prefBin.xhtml |archive-date=2016-12-07 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
