What does 1 centimeter mercury (0°C) represent in pressure terms?

It represents the pressure exerted by a 1-centimetre column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity, approximately equal to 1,333.2239 pascals.

Are these units part of the International System of Units (SI)?

No, both centimeter mercury (0°C) and kilogram-force per square meter are non-SI units used mainly in specialized and historical contexts.
