Takeaway
- Recommended or revised 6 times between 1902 and 2024 (first record 1902, latest revision 1993).
- The one revision whose previous recommendation had an uncertainty kept the new value inside the previous (expanded) range.
- The current standard atomic weight is 55.845(2) (recommended in 1993).
