About
It was first published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1988 and has since undergone several revisions. ISO 8601 uses a logical ordering of date elements, such as year, month, and day, with optional time elements, such as hour, minute, and second, to create a consistent and unambiguous representation. This standard is widely used in various industries and applications, such as computer programming, data interchange, and international communication, to ensure accurate and reliable representation of dates and times. The ISO 8601 format also includes provisions for handling time zones, leap seconds, and other time-related information. This standardized format helps to minimize confusion and errors when working with dates and times across different systems and cultures.
