Clause: 8.1.3.7

Paragraph:

Category: Issue for edition 2 of this part

Issue

EntryTime maps to MMS BINARY-TIME, but the timezone for MMS BINARY-TIME has never been clear (local or GMT). This has caused confusion in many existing MMS applications.

Proposal

This clause should clearly state that EntryTime is based on GMT.

Changed to final proposal. 10 Nov 06 Ballot Period
I agree that the time basis for EntryTime should be GMT. The following sentence should be added in F.1 and 8.1.3.7

"The MMS TimeOfDay epoch began at 0 hours on 1 January 1984 (MJD 40 587). Times measured are designated in this standard as MMS TimeOfDay milli-seconds GMT and TimeOfDay days GMT, and represent offets from the epoch." 		01 Nov 06 Discussion (red)
