Right, it is not an official standard, but TZDIR appears in tzselect, which comes from GNU libc.  https://www.unix.com/man-page/redhat/8/TZSELECT/

date(1) does not set timezone dir: but it uses TZ, and, in man, it refers to tzselect:

TZDIR, nor does it appear to affect actually-standard utilities
like date(1).
