Proper reference for the International System of Units
Yes, the BIPM one – the NIST describes itself as ‘United States version of the English text of the eighth edition (2006) of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures publication Le Système International d’ Unités (SI)’.
When I've cited it, it's been as
BIPM. Le Système international d’unités / The International System of Units (‘The SI Brochure’). Bureau international des poids et mesures, eighth edition, 2006. URL
http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/
, ISBN 92-822-2213-6.
Or...
@Book{si-brochure,
title = {Le Syst\`eme international d'unit\'es / The
International System of Units (`The {SI} Brochure')},
publisher = {Bureau international des poids et mesures},
author = {{BIPM}},
howpublished = {Online},
url = {http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/},
edition = {Eighth},
isbn = {92-822-2213-6},
year = 2006
}
Or for after the 2019 redefinition:
BIPM. Le Système international d’unités / The International System of Units (‘The SI Brochure’). Bureau international des poids et mesures, ninth edition, 2019. URL
http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/
, ISBN 978-92-822-2272-0.
@Book{si-brochure,

The BIPM one, not the NIST one. The PDF file has an ISBN which is 92-822-2213-6
