Full title and description

GOST R 2.610-2019 — Unified system for design documentation. Rules for making operational (exploitative) documents. The standard establishes unified rules for preparation, structure and presentation of operational documents supplied with engineering and instrumentation products (passports, operation and maintenance manuals, installation and commissioning instructions, spare-parts lists, labels, catalogs, logbooks and related documents), including requirements for electronic and interactive documents.

Abstract

This national Russian standard (GOST R 2.610-2019) sets out general rules for the development and formatting of operational documentation within the Unified System for Design Documentation (ESKD). It defines the types of operational documents to be prepared for mechanical and instrument engineering products, prescribes mandatory content blocks and formatting rules for text and graphical materials, and includes provisions for electronic (interactive) documents and navigation elements intended to ensure clarity, traceability and compliance in documentation supplied with products.

Scope

The standard applies to operational (exploitative) documentation for products of mechanical engineering and instrument engineering, including transport equipment where applicable. It covers the composition of operational documentation sets to be supplied with products, mandatory sections and information items (identification, technical data, safety warnings, acceptance and warranty information, maintenance schedules, spare parts lists), rules for presentation of text and graphical materials, and special provisions for electronic/interactive documentation and navigation elements.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the types of operational documents (passports, operating instructions, installation and commissioning instructions, maintenance and repair documents, spare-parts lists, labels, catalogs, formularies/logbooks, special operational instructions).
• Mandatory structure and minimum content for each document type, including identification data, technical characteristics, safety and handling instructions, maintenance regimes and acceptance records.
• Text requirements: clarity, terminology control, language style and use of standardized phrases consistent with ESKD rules.
• Graphical material rules: numbering, captions, references, placement of illustrations, tables and diagrams to ensure unambiguous interpretation.
• Requirements for electronic and interactive documents: navigation, hyperlinks, multimedia elements and definition of the "information object" to ensure usability and traceability in digital formats.
• Rules for inclusion of unique product identifiers (e.g., VIN/WMI for vehicles where applicable) and documentation required to support conformity assessment and certification.

Typical use and users

Practitioners who prepare, review or use operational documentation: design offices and engineering departments, technical writers and documentation specialists, manufacturers and assemblers of machinery and instruments, certification and conformity-assessment bodies, regulatory authorities, maintenance and service organizations, technical support and after-sales teams, and purchasers who require complete and compliant documentation with supplied products.
