Abstract
In this paper, we specify the purpose of an international temperature scale and present some definitions that are basic to the International Temperature Scale of 1990. These definitions include those for non-un iqueness and for the temperature fixed points underlying the scale. Th ree types of non-uniqueness are identified.
