Official EPSG transformations from ITRF89 to ITRF90

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 2 transformations between ITRF89 (EPSG:4911) and ITRF90 (EPSG:4912). Each applies to a specific area — pick the one whose area of use covers your data.

ITRF89 to ITRF90 (1)

EPSG:9021±0.01 mBest accuracy

Method:: Position Vector transformation (geocentric domain)
Area of use:: World
Scope:: Geodesy.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	-0.5	centimetre
Y-axis translation(ty)	-2.4	centimetre
Z-axis translation(tz)	3.8	centimetre
X-axis rotation(rx)	0	milliarc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)	0	milliarc-second
Z-axis rotation(rz)	0	milliarc-second
Scale difference(ds)	-3	parts per billion

Scale difference in ppb and scale difference rate in ppb/yr where 1/billion = 1E-9 or nm/m. Superseded by parameter values derived from transformations to ITRF2020 (change in scale difference), see EPSG:10140.

ITRF89 to ITRF90 (2)

EPSG:10140±0.01 m

Method:: Position Vector transformation (geocentric domain)
Area of use:: World
Scope:: Geodesy.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	-0.5	centimetre
Y-axis translation(ty)	-2.4	centimetre
Z-axis translation(tz)	3.8	centimetre
X-axis rotation(rx)	0	milliarc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)	0	milliarc-second
Z-axis rotation(rz)	0	milliarc-second
Scale difference(ds)	-3.4	parts per billion

Parameter values derived from differences in CTs to ITRF2020 (codes 10103 and 10104). These supersede all values published in past IERS/ITRF documentation (CT code 9021). Scale difference in ppb and scale difference rate in ppb/yr where 1/billion = 1E-9.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting ITRF89 to ITRF90?: The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.01 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation 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.
