Time zone specification as an offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) in terms of hours and minutes. This is not an exhaustive list. DDI 3.2 Coded values specifying time zones as offsets from Greenwich Meridian Time [or Coordinated Universal Time, UTC]. For example, United States Eastern Standard Time is -5.00.
