I think both Emanuel and Jean-Christophe have good points, it's a
tricky situation.

Just nitpicking here but SI is actually just the formal name of the
metric system i.e. a set of measurement units. The industrial
standards you are thinking of might be the NF documents produced by
AFNOR. Most countries have their own (even Sweden (SIS)) which granted
is not always for industrial purposes but are national standards
none-the-less. I think it's a simple result of being an independent
country: you're bound to have country specific things and I don't see
anything wrong with it.
