Until 1 May 1892, local (mean) time was used in Belgium, which was usually that of the nearest large town. The law of 28 April 1892 (which came into effect on 1 May 1892) established GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, later UT or TU, now UTC, the Universal Coordinated Time<\/a>) as legal time.<\/p>\n

The table below displays the dates of time and time zone changes in Belgium since the time zone system was introduced on 1 May 1892. 0 h UTC corresponds to the time zone centred on Greenwich (UTC + 0 h). This was the time zone originally adopted by Belgium before it decided to change to UTC + 1 h in 1946, after the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The column “Hour of summer\/winter time” shows the time in UTC at the moment when the time change took place. The column “Correction” shows the corrections in time with respect to UTC. For example, on 5 October 1918 at 23:00 UTC, the time changes from UTC + 1 h (Correction: + 1 h) to UTC + 0 h (Correction: + 0 h). This means, for example, that on 6 October 1923 at 00:00 local time, we “jump” one hour earlier, to 5 October at 23:00, in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
