Finally managed to get a copy of the IEC 60062 intl. std.

It distinguishes between quantities in Ohms and in Farads. For resistances (Ohms) it dictates the use of letters: L, R, K, M & G, with weights: $$10^{-3}$$, $$10^0$$, $$10^3$$, $$10^6$$ & $$10^9$$ respectively. Such letters are used instead of the decimal dot/comma. L meaning $$10^{-3}$$ is justified in such std. (instead of m) cause it dictates the use of uppercase letters, and M is already used for $$10^6$$.

For capacitances (Farads), the letters used are: p, n, $$\mu$$, m & F, with weights: $$10^{-12}$$, $$10^{-9}$$, $$10^{-6}$$, $$10^{-3}$$ & $$10^0$$ respectively. As with the previous case, such letters replace the decimal dot/comma. $$\mu$$ can be replaced by u or even U.
