Name: Amersfoort to ETRS89 (6)
Method: Molodensky-Badekas (CF geog2D domain)
Remarks: Replaces Amersfoort to ETRS89 (4) (CT code 15740). Replaced by Amersfoort to ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010] (8) [9281]. Dutch sources also quote an equivalent transformation using the Coordinate Frame 7-parameter method (see CT code 4830).
