    I don't think i have ever seen a list of international standard time zone
    designators from ISO or CCITT or any standards organization.  I think the
    only official international standard way to indicate a time zone is by
    a numeric offset.

Jumping ot the filling cabinet. He gets out X.409 CCITT Message handling
systems presentaion Trasfer syntax and Notation) or at least a draft of
it.
 One of the sections refers to "UTC", and the presentation layer
representation of it.
 In the references section there are three ISO refernces namely:
	ISO 2014, Writing Calendar dates in all-numeric form.
	ISO 3307, Information interchange- representation of time of the day.
	ISO 4031, Information interchange- representation of local time differentials.

also one to
	B.11, Legal time; use of the term UTC
 (don't know who origniated that one).
	'Fraid I don't happen to have copies of those standards.
