Name in English:
GOST 2.102-68
Name in Russian:
ГОСТ 2.102-68
Unified system for design documentation. Types and sets of design documents
Full title and description
GOST 2.102-68 — Единая система конструкторской документации. Виды и комплектность конструкторских документов (Unified system for design documentation — Types and sets of design documents). The standard defines the types (kinds) of design (engineering) documents and rules for forming basic, main and full sets of design documentation for products across industry sectors.
Abstract
GOST 2.102-68 establishes a classification of design-document types (drawings, schemes, specifications, statements, calculation sheets, explanatory notes, etc.) and specifies what constitutes the basic, main and full комплект (set) of design documents required to fully and unambiguously define an item and its composition. The standard was originally approved in 1968 and introduced for use from 1 January 1971; it has been amended multiple times and later superseded by a 2013 revision.
General information
- Status: Replaced / superseded (withdrawn from active use and superseded by GOST 2.102-2013).
- Publication date: Approved 28 June 1968; date of introduction into force 1 January 1971.
- Publisher: Gosstandart of the USSR (Committee of Standards, Measures and Measuring Instruments under the Council of Ministers of the USSR).
- ICS / categories: Classification within ESKD / OKС groups for technical documentation (commonly shown as ОКС 01.110 / group T52 in bibliographic records).
- Edition / version: Original designation GOST 2.102-68 (1968 edition); later marked with amendment symbols (*) and amendments up to at least Amendment No. 8.
- Number of pages: Typically published as a short standard (around 12 pages in registry copies).
Scope
The standard applies to design documentation for products of all branches of industry. It sets out the allowed types of engineering documents and defines rules for forming document sets: the single (primary) engineering document for an item, the main set required for production and the full set used for manufacture, testing, delivery, operation and repair. It is part of the ESKD (Unified System for Design Documentation) family of standards and was used as a basic organizational rule for technical drawings and accompanying documents.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and enumeration of all recognized types of engineering (design) documents (drawings, schemas, specifications, lists, statements, calculation and test reports, explanatory notes, etc.).
- Rules for identifying the single (basic) design document that uniquely defines an item (for example: a part drawing, an assembly drawing, or an electronic model/specification as applicable).
- Composition rules for the main комплект (set) of documents required for production and the full комплект used for complete lifecycle support (manufacture, testing, acceptance, operation, repair).
- Guidance and example(s) for building a full documentation set for complex assemblies (appendix example included in original standard).
- Cross-references to other ESKD standards that detail execution rules for specific document types (drawings, inscriptions, textual documents, electronic representations).
Typical use and users
Engineers, design bureaus, drafting departments, technical documentation specialists, manufacturing planners, quality and configuration control personnel, and archivists used this standard to determine what documents must accompany a product design and which documents form the minimal or complete delivery set. The standard guided document preparation, handover and archival processes across enterprises following ESKD practice.
Related standards
GOST 2.102-68 is part of the ESKD series and interrelates with many other standards in the system (for example GOST 2.101, GOST 2.104, GOST 2.105, GOST 2.201 and others). It replaced parts of earlier standards (GOST 5291-60 and GOST 5295-60 in relevant sections) and was itself superseded by a later revision (GOST 2.102-2013). The document also corresponds to inter-state recommendations (СТ СЭВ 4768-84) and received multiple amendments during its service life.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: GOST 2.102-68 is a Soviet-era ESKD standard that defines the kinds (types) of engineering/design documents and the rules for assembling basic, main and full sets of such documents for products.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers classification of document types (drawings, schemes, specifications, calculation documents, notes, etc.) and prescribes what documents constitute the minimal/main/full комплект required to unambiguously define and support a product through production and lifecycle stages.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Designers, drafting and documentation departments, manufacturing planners, quality and configuration control staff, and technical libraries/archives — essentially any organization working within the ESKD framework that needs to determine required documentation sets for products.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: GOST 2.102-68 has been superseded — its active use was later replaced by an updated designation (GOST 2.102-2013). Historical copies remain relevant for legacy documentation and understanding older drawing/document sets.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is a component of the ESKD (Unified System for Design Documentation) family of standards; many other GOST/ESKD standards define execution rules for specific document types referenced by this standard.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Types of design documents; комплектность конструкторских документов; ESKD; engineering documentation sets; assembly and part drawings; specifications; unified system for design documentation.
