How is the extra hour documented in the fall daylight saving time change on official stuff?

Asked by gorillapaws (30518points) March 11th, 2023

It is my understanding that in fall the clocks go from 1 to 2 normally and then at 2am they jump back to 1am again. So how does that get documented on official stuff so people understand which of the two 1am – 2am sequences are being described? Is one denoted with a * or something?

E.g. Air traffic control, time of birth/death, train schedules in places where trains run all night, time-based triggers and logs on servers, banking transactions, police reports, etc.
