Not strictly true.  The change that occurs for DST is variable in a 
number of ways:
  1. Change is usually +/-1 hour but in some cases in +/- 30 mins.
  2. Change occurs at different times after midnight - e.g. do you fall 
back at 2am or 3am and spring forward at 1am or 2am.
  3. Some countries operate backwards DST as they are in the Southern 
Hemisphere.

And don't forget - daylight saving rules change at the whim of the 
current government.
