Standardisation

Dates

\Dates and timestamps are encoded as strings using ISO 8601, for example 2023-10-12T06:47:00Z. You can also include a timezone offset, such as +02:00 for Amsterdam. Milliseconds are not accepted, so a value like 2023-10-09T06:54:45.157Z will be rejected.

Time zones

Time zones represent the geographical location of the legal entity. The following identifier formats are accepted:

ConventionExample

GMT/UTC offsetGMT+offset or UTC+offset (for example, GMT+1 for Central European Time).
Time zone abbreviationAny standard abbreviation (for example, IST for Irish Standard Time or D for Delta Time Zone).

Country codes

Country codes follow the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. Examples include GB for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and US for the United States of America.
