---Added "24-hour format" and "time scale components and units" (see 4.2:3, 4:3);

---Deleted "Features common to single-term representation and combined representation", "Time unit", "Date", "Characters used in representation" and "Truncation" Short representation" "agreed by both parties" (see:2005 edition 4:2, 4:3:1, 4:3:2:3, 4:4, 4:6, 4:9);

---Changed the "date and time representation" (see Chapter 5, Chapter 5 of the:2005 edition) and deleted the "truncated representation" in all representations Law" (see 5.2:1:3, 5:2:2:2, 5:2:3:3, 5:3:1:4, 5:4:2, 5:6:4 of the:2005 edition):

Introduction

GB/T 7408 aims to provide a standard date and time format representation for information exchange to minimize misunderstandings and confusion:

risk: GB/T 7408 is planned to consist of 2 parts:

---Part 1: Basic principles: The purpose is to specify Gregorian calendar dates and times and their combinations based on the 24-hour clock representation:

---Part 2: Extensions: The purpose is to specify the extended content of date and time representation and ensure the date and time when exchanging information:

accuracy of representation:

GB/T 7408 (all parts) adopts ISO 8601 (all parts) in one-to-one correspondence to ensure that the date and time format representation is consistent with International standards: By formulating this series of standards, the relevant standard system will be improved:

Date and time information exchange representation Part 1: Basic Principles

1 Scope

This document specifies the representation of Gregorian calendar dates and times and their combinations based on the 24-hour clock:

This document applies to date and time representations involved in the exchange of information: It also applies to times and times based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC):

Time-shifted representation:

This document does not apply to non-Gregorian date representations or non-24-hour time representations: This document also does not give date and time the character encoding of the representation:

2 Normative reference documents

This document has no normative references:

3 Terms, definitions and symbols

3.1 Terms and definitions the following terms and definitions apply to this document:

3.1.1 Basic concepts 3.1.1.1 Date date the time on the calendar time scale:

Note: Commonly used date formats include calendar date, sequential date, or weekday date:

3.1.1.2

time time

A mark of a moment or interval of time on a specific time scale:

Note 1: The term "time" is often used in everyday language and can be used only when its meaning is unambiguous in the context:

Note 2: On a time scale consisting of consecutive time intervals, such as a clock system or a calendar, different moments in time may be represented by the same time:

Note 3: This definition is close to the definition of the term "date" in 113-01-12 in IEC 60050-113:2011:

3.1.1.3

moment instant

Points on the timeline:

Note: Transient events occur at a specific moment:
