Under upcoming MiFID-II regulations, traders must not only record all trade data, but also ensure trade events are accurately time-stamped to within microseconds of Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) along with information about the reliability of the timing source.
Microsemi said the device is comprised of multiple 5071A atomic clocks, which are aggregated to determine and deliver an optimal estimate of Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC), the basis for time synchronization throughout the world.

The latest pause - the 26th - will occur today at 23:59:59 co-ordinated
universal time (UTC), which is an hour behind British Summer Time.
The move aims to conform with other timing centres around the world, which will also add a leap second at the same time (11:59:60pm UTC or coordinated
universal time on June 30) to adjust for the slight differences in time between highly accurate atomic clocks and the rotation of the globe.
Today and tomorrow, more than 400 atomic clocks in around 70 institutes are combined to form the international time scale, called Coordinated
Universal Time or UTC.
1884: An international conference voted to adopt Greenwich as the
universal time meridian of longitude, from which standard times throughout the world are calculated - despite dogged opposition from the French delegation, backing Paris.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in Middlesex operates the group of atomic clocks that form the national time scale, known as the Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) and carries out laboratory research in the fields of maths and physics.
JUNE 30 -- A leap second is added to Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC).
Colloquium Exploring Implications of Redefining Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) (2011: Exton, PA) Ed.
That's called Coordinated
Universal Time. But the ideal timekeeper, because it has to do with observable reality, has to do with the Earth's rotation, or mean solar time.
1884: Following a fraught international conference, Greenwich (rather than Paris) was adopted as the
universal time meridian of longitude, from which standard times worldwide are calculated.
The September equinox occurs at 09:04 (or 9:04am) Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) on September 23, 2011.
