EPSG:11037 - ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010]

Selected transformation

Name: Amersfoort to ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010] (8)

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Replaces Amersfoort to ETRS89 (5) and (6) (CT codes 4830 and 4831). Derived using ETRF2000. In official transformation used with an ellipsoidal height of 0m in Amersfoort or 43m in ETRS89 and with an additional correction grid (up to 0.25m).

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.
