Official EPSG transformation from ETRS89 to EOS21-IRF

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between ETRS89 (EPSG:4258) and EOS21-IRF (EPSG:9739). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

ETRS89 to EOS21-IRF (1)

EPSG:9740±0 m
Method:
NTv2
Area of use:
UK - Tweedmouth to Aberdeen
Scope:
Engineering survey and topographic mapping for railway applications.

Grid file: TN15-ETRS89-to-EOS21-IRF.gsb

In conjunction with the EOS21-TM map projection (code 9738) applied to EOS21-IRF (code 9739), emulates the EOS21 Snake projection. Applied to ETRS89 (as realized through the OSNet v2009 CORS) defines EOS21-IRF hence is errorless.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting ETRS89 to EOS21-IRF?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation (including the grid-shift files listed below) in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?
No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
