COMMONS13 — Reference to GMT should be to UTC instead

Open Closed All
  • Key: COMMONS13-20
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: cebe IT & KM ( Mr. Claude Baudoin)
  • Summary:

    The annotation for the DateTime row states "The time zone is implicitly GMT." This time zone is now known as UTC, and this should be used rather than GMT because UTC is the legal reference, and UTC is measured from midnight while GMT was measured from midday. There are other distinctions, see https://www.timeanddate.com/time/gmt-utc-time.html.
