Name: Amersfoort to ETRS89 (1)
Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)
Remarks: Replaced by Amersfoort to ETRS89 (3) (tfm code 15739). Dutch sources also quote an equivalent transformation using the Molodenski-Badekas 10-parameter method (M-B) - see tfm code 1066.

Revision date: 2026-01-06
Scope: Cadastre, engineering survey, topographic mapping.
Remarks: Replaces 28991 (RD Old). Since 2000-10-01 has been redefined as derived from ETRS89 by application of the official transformation RDNAPTRANS(TM). Since 2008 use has been extended from onshore to offshore through the RDNAPTRANS(TM) transformation.
Area of use: Netherlands - onshore and offshore.
