Is there anything in the standard to support what you're saying? Based on [1], the guidance is:
> [5.3.1.1] When the application identifies the need for an expression only of a time of the day then the complete representation shall be a single numeric data element comprising six digits in the basic format, where [hh] represents hours, [mm] minutes and [ss] seconds.
> [5.4.1] The components of a time-point shall be written in the following sequence
> For calendar dates:
> year - month - day - time designator - hour - minute - second - zone designator
> The zone designator is empty if use is made of local time of the day in accordance with [5.3.1.1]

- kamray23 3y agoYeah, exactly. When there's only a need for time of day then the time is enough. The standard lets you pick the tool you need here, it's not going to have some kind of procedure for determining whether your application should use one thing or not. It's very clear that here that undesignated time stamps are the wrong one. The standard only describes a set of tools, what I said was common sense.However, the information is there. In 5.3.4.1 you have "When it is required to indicate the difference between local time and UTC". When it is required. If your time zone changes it obviously is required.
