Argentina determines whether to observe daylight saving time on a year-by-year basis, and individual provinces may opt out of the federal decision. At present, Argentina does not observe daylight saving time. The Argentine Hydrographic Service maintains the official national time. History The first official standardization took place on 31 October 1894. The official time switched between UTC−04:00 and UTC−03:00 from 1920 to 1969, and then between UTC−03:00 and UTC−02:00 from 1974 to 1993.
