Abstract
A new set of values of the fundamental constants, based on a recent least-squares adjustment, has been recommended by CODATA. An overview of the experiments and theory that influence the values of the new set of constants will be given. Quantum electrodynamic (QED) theory plays a significant role in determining these constants and the consistency of the values obtained from various sources of information provides an important test of the theory.
