That's definitely incorrect.

andromeda$ TZ=Pacific/Auckland date +"%c %z"
Fri Oct 30 15:04:08 2015 +1300

That's right now (or a minute or two ago).

Offsets of +1400 have been seen as well, and +1500 isn't out of the
question.   I'm not sure if -1300 has ever been used, but probably.

If you need limits, limit it to +/- 2400
