Decimal time, which is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related, is to be adopted throughout the European Union over the coming months.
The new EU wide time system will divide each day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds, as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.
The use of both time systems will be allowed until the end of this year, in order for people to become properly accquainted with the new system.
