RCMA SWG was appointed by the IAU WGAS (Working Group on Astronomical Standards) in accordance with IAU Resolution C6 (1994) with the aim ‘to provide definitions of the astronomical units, of the quantities linking these astronomical units to the units of the International System (SI), and of other astronomical quantities, compatible with the theory of General Relativity’. It is evident that the relativistic aspects of units of measurement cannot be isolated from the more general problem of astronomical constants and fundamental astronomy concepts in the relativistic framework. Therefore, along with the problem of units the main topics of discussion of RCMA SWG concerned also the IAU (1991) Resolutions on References Systems (RSs) and Time Scales (TSs) and their interpretation in IERS Standards (1992) and IERS Conventions (1996). In what follows we tried to summarize the results of these discussions.
