GOST R 2.106-2019 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 2.106-2019 — "Единая система конструкторской документации. Текстовые документы" (Unified system for design documentation — Textual documents). National standard that sets forms, structure and rules for preparing and presenting text-based design and technical documents used in engineering, instrumentation and construction, in both paper and electronic formats.

Abstract

This standard defines terminology, required structural elements and the recommended forms for textual design documents within the Russian Unified System for Design Documentation (ЕСКД). It covers documents composed as tables or mainly continuous text (specifications, lists, technical proposals, explanatory notes, test programs, calculations, instructions and other text documents), prescribes standard forms for many document types (annexed forms), and establishes requirements for electronic textual documents, metadata and versioning to ensure consistent preparation, exchange, printing and archival of design documentation.

Scope

Applies to textual design documents for products of mechanical engineering, instrument engineering and to design documentation for construction where ЕСКД rules are used. Establishes rules and standard forms for: documents that are primarily tabular (specification, lists of specifications, lists of referenced documents, lists of purchased items and related registers, etc.) and documents composed mainly of continuous text (explanatory notes, test programs and methods, calculations, instructions and other text documents). Covers both paper and electronic textual documents, including requirements for document metadata, versioning and presentation for printing or on-screen display.

Key topics and requirements

• Terms, definitions and abbreviations used in textual design documentation (TД / TДЭ — electronic text document).
• Mandatory structural elements and order of sections for different kinds of textual documents.
• Standardized forms and templates (appendix forms) for specifications, registers and tables (including forms 9 and 9a for tables and related forms in Appendix A).
• Rules for documents that are mainly continuous text: explanatory notes, instructions, test programmes, calculations and other narrative documents.
• Requirements for electronic textual documents (TДЭ): required metadata fields (including mandatory version identifier), representation in information systems (display, change control, printing, storage and exchange).
• Guidance on presentation: spacing, pagination, content of table-of-contents, handling of multi-part documents, allowable deviations when outputting to different media, and alignment with other ЕСКД rules (title block per ГОСТ 2.104, drawing/table formats per ГОСТ 2.301).
• Procedures for versioning, linking to source documents, and forms for lists of referenced and purchased items to support configuration and procurement activities.

Typical use and users

Used by design engineers, technical authors, document controllers, engineering bureaus, manufacturers, QA and compliance teams, procurement and supply-chain specialists, and IT groups implementing engineering document management systems. Applicable where consistent structure and exchange of engineering textual documentation are required — e.g., product specification preparation, technical proposals, test documentation, maintenance and operational instructions and archival of design records.

Related standards

Closely related to other ЕСКД and documentation standards such as ГОСТ Р 2.105-2019 (General requirements for text documents), ГОСТ 2.104 (title block / main inscription), ГОСТ Р 2.601-2019 and ГОСТ Р 2.610-2019 (operational and related document rules). Also aligns with international guidance for technical product documentation (for example ISO technical-documentation series such as ISO 15519 and ISO/IEC guidance on documentation and user manuals) where cross-references are needed.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ Р 2.106-2019 is the Russian national standard that specifies the forms, structure and rules for text-based design and technical documents used within the Unified System for Design Documentation (ЕСКД).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers both tabular documents (specifications, lists/registers such as lists of specifications, lists of referenced documents, lists of purchased items, etc.) and documents of mainly continuous text (explanatory notes, test programmes and methods, calculations, instructions and other narrative text documents). It sets required elements, standard forms, presentation rules and requirements for electronic textual documents and their metadata/versioning.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Design engineers, technical writers, document control and QA personnel, manufacturers, procurement staff and IT teams responsible for engineering document management systems — essentially any organization preparing, exchanging or archiving engineering textual documentation in industries using ЕСКД.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2019 edition is the current national standard (approved 29 April 2019, Order No. 176‑ст). It has recorded editorial updates (noted Nov 8, 2023) and amendment activity (Amendment No.1 referenced with a 01 March 2024 implementation in published collections). Users should check the official Rosstandart/authorized standards publisher records for the latest consolidated edition and any subsequent amendments or revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. ГОСТ Р 2.106-2019 is part of the ЕСКД family of standards on design documentation and complements related documents in the ГОСТ/ЕСКД series (for example ГОСТ Р 2.105-2019, ГОСТ 2.104 and other ЕСКД standards that together define graphical and textual documentation requirements).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Textual documents, design documentation, ЕСКД, specification, forms, tables, electronic document, TДЭ, versioning, title block, technical documentation.
