Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006390
The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, serving as the basis for civil time in all time zones. Coordinated Universal Time is maintained through a combination of atomic clocks and astronomical observations of the Earth's rotation. It is the successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for technical and scientific purposes, though the two are often used interchangeably in casual contexts.
