No, it is not. If you open your X12 standards book you will find.....
In X12.6 Date is defined.
A date data element is used to express the standard date in either YYMMDD or
CCYYMMDD format in which CC is the first two digits of the calendar year, YY
is the last two digits of the calendar year, MM is the month (01 to 12), and
DD is the day in the month (01 to 31). The representation for this data
element type is DT.
<date> ::= <year> <month> <day> | <hundred_year> <year> <month> <day>
<hundred year> ::= <digit> <digit>
<year> ::= <digit> <digit>
<month> ::= "01" | "02" | ... | "12"
<day> ::= "01" | "02" | ... | "31"
In X12.3 (Data Element Dictionary)
Data element 373 (Date) is defined as "Date expressed as CCYYMMDD where CC
represents the first two digits of the calendar year".
The extra definition in the data element dictionary was added for those
folks who would fail to read X12.6.
