NBS Wrote:1 pound (avoirdupois)= 0.453 592 37 kilogram

The source document can be found here as a PDF.

Also, in the UK:

[UK] Weights and Measures Act, 1963 Wrote:The yard or the metre shall be the unit of measurement of length and the pound or the kilogram shall be the unit of measurement of mass by reference to which any measurement involving a measurement of length or mass shall be made in the United Kingdom; and- (a) the yard shall be 0.9144 metre exactly; (b) the pound shall be 0.45359237 kilogram exactly.
