    It may seem picky, but nevertheless: the BIPM does not define an
    "SI minute" in the SI brochure, nor anywhere else. It defines
    the time units minute, hour, and day in terms of SI units,
    and allows their use together with SI units.

    Thus d, h, min are are well-defined units, but they are not
    SI units. Calling them "SI-minutes" etc is misleading, in my
    opinion.
