# Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services, Division 2.2.1: Equal Area Grid

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The grid is based on the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (ETRS89-LAEA) coordinate reference system with the centre of the projection at the point 52° N, 10° E and false easting: x0 = 4 321 000 m, false northing: y0 = 3 210 000 m.
The origin of the grid coincides with the false origin of the ETRS89-LAEA coordinate reference system (x=0, y=0).
Grid points of grids based on ETRS89-LAEA shall coincide with grid points of the grid.
The grid is hierarchical, with resolutions of 1m, 10m, 100m, 1 000m, 10 000m and 100 000m.
The grid orientation is south-north, west-east.
The grid is designated as Grid_ETRS89-LAEA. For identification of an individual resolution level the cell size in metres is appended.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For the unambiguous referencing and identification of a grid cell, the cell code composed of the size of the cell and the coordinates of the lower left cell corner in ETRS89-LAEA shall be used. The cell size shall be denoted in metres (‘m’) for cell sizes up to 100m or kilometres (‘km’) for cell sizes of 1 000m and above. Values for northing and easting shall be divided by 10n, where n is the number of trailing zeros in the cell size value.
