It sets mandatory-format recommendations for the content and arrangement of sections, the layout and sizes of main-title blocks and additional fields, rules for graphic representation (plans, sections, views), document numbering and marking of changes, as well as requirements for electronic document packages and information attributes used when documents are exchanged or submitted for state examination.
Key topics and requirements
- Structure and composition of project and working documentation (required sections and packages).
- Rules for graphical presentation: plans, sections, views, designation of axes and coordinate systems.
- Formatting and content of main title blocks, additional graphs and required metadata.
- Numbering rules for documents, sheets and revisions; procedures for issuing and recording changes.
- Requirements for electronic document packages, file attributes, signatures and control checksums.
- Integration with related design standards (ESKD/SPDS) and references to specific ГОСТ rules for drawings and documentation.
- Provisions for compiling contents, cover sheets, envelopes/tomes and labeling when documents are split into parts.
Typical use and users
Used by architectural and engineering project organisations, design bureaus, CAD/BIM specialists, construction contractors, document controllers and technical reviewers preparing documentation for construction, state expertise or client approval. It is referenced by regulators and is applied during preparation of documentation submitted for state review and construction permitting.
Related standards
Directly related to the SPDS/ESKD family and other ГОСТs for technical documentation and drawings, for example ГОСТ 2.303, ГОСТ 2.305, ГОСТ 2.316 and ГОСТ 2.104 (rules for title blocks and drawing execution), as well as earlier national SPDS standards (for example ГОСТ R 21.1101-2013 which is replaced by this edition). Also aligned with subsequent SPDS standards and regulatory schemes introduced by the Ministry of Construction and sector committees.
