EPSG:28992

Amersfoort / RD New -- Netherlands - Holland - Dutch

Selected transformation

Name: Amersfoort to ETRS89 (7)

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: rdtrans2008.gsb

Remarks: Replaced by Amersfoort to ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010] (9) (CT code 9282). Consistent to within 1mm with official RDNAPTRANS(TM)2008 at ground level onshore and at MSL offshore. The horizontal deviation using this NTv2 grid is approximately 1mm per 50m height difference from ground level or MSL.

Information source: Kadaster and Rijkswaterstaat CIV, working together under the name RDNAP.

Revision date: 2025-12-25

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: Amersfoort

Datum: Amersfoort

Ellipsoid: Bessel 1841

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: NSGI: Netherlands Partnership of Kadaster, Rijkswaterstaat and Hydrographic Service, http://www.nsgi.nl/.

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.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (x,y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
