ACDT representations, usage and related time zones

W3C/ISO-8601: International standard covering representation and exchange of dates and time-related data
  • +1030 - basic
  • +10:30 - extended
Email/RFC-2822: Internet Message Format Date Standard, typically used for timestamps in email headers
  • +1030 - sign character (+) followed by a four digit time providing hours (10) and minutes (30) of the offset. Indicates an offset of ten hours and thirty minutes to the east of the zero meridian.
IANA/Olson: Reflects ACDT time zone boundaries defined by political bodies, primarily intended for use with computer programs and operating systems

Greenwich Mean Time

Offset: GMT is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Countries using this time zone: Antarctica, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Greenland, Guernsey, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Ivory Coast, Jersey, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Saint Helena, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, United Kingdom, Western Sahara

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) originally referred to the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It is now often used to refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when this is viewed as a time zone, and in casual use the two are the same. In the military, GMT is known as Zulu time. Greenwich Mean Time was the same as Universal Time (UT), a standard astronomical concept used in many technical fields, until the introduction of UTC in 1972.
