The above statement is True.
Non-standard units are either not globally accepted or have some defects in using them as standard units of measurement. Fathom is an example of a non-standard unit. A wooden block is used to measure objects in the fathom unit. It is also used to measure the depth of water or the length of a nautical rope or cable. It is six feet or 1.8288 metres.
