Time and date

Time
The standard time format in Spanish is “hh:mm:ss”, usually referred to as the 24 hour clock format. Therefore, “9 a.m.” is translated as “9:00 h”, and “10:30 p.m.” becomes “22:30 h”.
The “h” after time can be omitted (8:30), yet please mind that if included, it should be joined to the numbers with a non-breaking space.

Dates
Dates can be written in full form, as in “25 de febrero de 1979” or in a shorted form, as in 2/10/2017 or 2/10/17. (Fundeu recommends not to write a 0 in the left position when the number is lower than 10)
Days of the week and months are not generally capitalized.

Measurements

As mentioned in section 4.6, please use a non-breaking space between numbers and symbols, between numbers and units of measure. For additional information regarding measurements, please check the specific instructions of each project.

Decimals and thousand separators

As regards numbers, the thousand separator is a non-breaking space for numbers that have more than 4 digits (30 000). Yet, 4 digit figures do not take any space. Please mind that this rule does not apply to years, postal codes, page numbers, articles or law numbers.
Moreover, use a non-breaking space between numbers and symbols, between numbers and units of measure, between numbers and currencies, between numbers and time reference. For example:
3000
310 000
3 000 000
Decimal numbers take a comma in Spanish: 3,5
