Time Zone Data
The Reltio Address Verification engine provides time zone information for countries around the world.
Time zone refers to the local time of a region or a country. The local time within a time zone is defined by its offset (difference) from Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC), the world’s time standard, and the values range from UTC -12:00 to UTC +14:00. Some countries or regions use Daylight Savings Time (DST) for part of the year during spring and summer. During DST, clocks are set forward an hour, so daylight extends later time into the day.
Coverage and Data
Most countries have a single time zone. There are 23 countries with at least two time zones, including Antarctica, Australia, Brazil, Canada, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, French Polynesia, Greenland, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kiribati, Mexico, Federated States of Micronesia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Ukraine, United States Minor Outlying Islands, and United States.
For countries with a single time zone, Reltio Address Verification engine will add the time zone fields using the Country Name field. Whereas for countries with multiple time zones, Reltio Address Verification will add time zone fields based on a combination of Country Name and other Geographical fields (for example, Super Administrative Area, Administrative Area, Sub Administrative Area, Locality, or all of the above).
