There are *many* specified standards.

The specification of local time is in (super-/sub-)national 
legislation.

In EU it is in the directive about Daylight Savings Time.

Most such legislation says "UTC +/- $integer_hours" and it follows
trivially that leapseconds happen at localtime of +/- $integer_hours.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
