UTC+08:00 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +08:00. In ISO 8601, the associated time would be written as 2026-10-15T05:57:58+08:00. It is eight hours ahead of UTC, meaning that when the time in UTC is midnight (00:00), the time in areas using the time zone would be 08:00.
It is the most populous time zone in the world, as well as a possible candidate for ASEAN Common Time, mainly due to China's large population, with an estimated population of 1.4 billion people.
This time zone is used in all predominantly Chinese-speaking regions, giving international Chinese websites and TV channels the same time.
The time zone is known as Central Indonesian Time (Indonesian: Waktu Indonesia Tengah/WITA) in Indonesia, Australian Western Standard Time in Australia, and Irkutsk Time (Russian: Иркутское время) or MSK+5 (Russian: МСК+5) in Russia.

The southern half of Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) was formerly part of this time zone prior to the national reunification on 30 April 1975, making it one hour ahead of North Vietnam. After 1975, the whole country came under the North Vietnamese time zone, UTC+07:00.
According to Presidential Decree 41/1987, Indonesia's ex-province of Timor Timur used this time zone with neighboring East Nusa Tenggara and other provinces in Lesser Sunda Islands, parts of Kalimantan and Sulawesi[9] until independence as East Timor, which the country changed to UTC+09:00 as the official time zone. In addition, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, which previously used this time zone, switched to UTC+07:00 (Western Indonesian Time), following Java and Sumatra.[10]
Going by geographic division of time zones around the world, Singapore falls within the GMT+7 region.
