IOS time, not work correctly

Question

I have a problem, i want make a date for local notify from a string. I make this:

NSDateFormatter *dateForm = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateForm setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *dateSelected = [dateForm dateFromString:@"2012-09-01 08:00:00"];
NSLog(@"notify time: |%@| \n", dateSelected);

but the log is:
notify time: |2012-09-01 06:00:00 +0000|
the time is wrong! Why? tanks for help!
I use iOS 5.1 and xcode 4.4

Located in western Europe (GMT+2) by any chance? That would make the result correct since it's presented in GMT. — Joachim Isaksson, Aug 21 '12 at 18:26
the NSDateFormatter uses your local timezone, the NSLog uses UTC. You are from a country that uses the UTC+0200 timezone, europe probably. — Matthias Bauch, Aug 21 '12 at 18:26

Try adding

[dateForm setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];

or

[dateForm setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"]];

And replace GMT with your timezone.
