What does the Time (0040,A122) tag mean in DICOM header?

I have some trouble understanding the value of Time (0040,A122) tag. I am trying to update an anonymization software, but I can't seem to find any example of the actual tag.

The DICOM standard (PS 3.3) mentions that:

This is the Value component of a Name/Value pair when the Concept implied by Concept Name Code Sequence (0040,A043) is a time.

Note
The purpose or role of the date value could be specified in Concept Name Code Sequence (0040,A043).

Required if the value that Concept Name Code Sequence (0040,A043) requires (implies) is a time. Shall not be present otherwise.

So basically Concept Name Code Sequence (0040,A043) specifies what type of time it is? I would like to know what are some examples of Concept Name Code Sequence?

I would suggest to have a look at the SR sample given from the DICOM standard section PS 3.20:

In particular:

>>>>1.5.1.1.4: HAS ACQ CONTEXT: TIME: (111061,DCM,"Study Time")  = "070844"

You may also want to check PS 3.16 for the definition of TID 1500:

Just as a reminder, Enhanced SR are defined in PS 3.3:
