Daylight Saving Time
a)
Europe
In accordance with EU Directive 2000/84/EC:
- the standard time is changed to the daylight saving time on the last Sunday in March (by adding one hour),
- the daylight saving time is changed to the standard time on the last Sunday in October (by taking away one hour).
Considering the above, in the countries following EU Directive 2000/84/EC, when the option of taking into account the daylight saving
time is activated in the clock:
a)
On the last Sunday in March
there is no time interval between 01:00UTC + TimeZone and 01:59UTC + TimeZone. If you try to set the
clock to the time within this interval, one hour earlier value is adopted, and it is assumed that the time has not yet been changed to the
daylight saving time. As a result, within the nearest 60 minutes, the clock will take into account the change to the daylight saving time
and will add one hour automatically.
b)
On the last Sunday in October,
the time interval between 01:00UTC + TimeZone and 01:59UTC + TimeZone appears twice. If you set
the clock to the time within this interval, the clock will be set to the time indicated by the user, and it is assumed that the time has
already been changed to the standard time.
b)
Australia
- the standard time is changed to the daylight saving time on the first Sunday in October at 2:00 AM of the local time (adding one hour),
- the daylight saving time is changed to the standard time on the first Sunday in April at 3:00 AM of the local time, taking into account
DST, (taking away one hour).
The daylight saving time is not applied in North Australia, Queensland and West Australia. Setting time change, the user must consider
the fact if the particular Australian territory (time zone) uses DST.
c)
United States and Canada
- the standard time is changed to the daylight saving time on the second Sunday in March at 2:00 AM of the local time (adding one
hour),
- the daylight saving time is changed to the standard time on the first Sunday in November at 3:00 AM of the local time, taking into
account DST, (taking away one hour).
The states of Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands and Samoa do not change time. Setting time change, the user must consider
the fact if the particular state, situated in the respective time zone, uses DST.
a)

AM (adding one hour),
