GOST 2.120-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 2.120-2013 — Единая система конструкторской документации (ЕСКД). Технический проект. (English title: Unified system for design documentation. Technical design.) This national/interstate standard establishes requirements for preparation and content of the technical project stage of design documentation for products across industries, and replaces the earlier ГОСТ 2.120-73.

Abstract

GOST 2.120-2013 defines what constitutes a complete technical project (technical design) package under the Unified System for Design Documentation (ESKD). It specifies required document types (drawings, explanatory notes, lists and statements, electronic models), basic content and presentation rules for documentation produced at the technical-project stage, and allows organizations to develop more detailed internal standards where needed.

Scope

The standard applies to the technical-project stage of product development across all industry sectors. It sets minimum content and documentation requirements for a technical project (technical design), including the set of required graphical and textual documents, requirements for electronic representations (models), and general rules for presentation and composition of the technical-project documentation bundle. It is intended for use where the technical-project stage is a formal, contractual or regulatory deliverable and may be adopted as the basis for organization-level rules.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the technical project (technical design) and its place in the stages of design (ESKD stages).
• List of documents that typically make up the technical project: general drawings, assembly drawings, specifications, explanatory note (pояснительная записка), lists/registries and other necessary graphic and text documents.
• Requirements for presentation and content of drawings and graphic materials according to ESKD rules (formats, views, scales, line types referenced to related GOSTs).
• Acceptance of electronic models and electronic documents with references to relevant ESKD provisions for electronic documentation.
• Provision for organization- or product-specific standards to refine document lists and work scope for the technical-project stage.
• Normative references to other ESKD standards (examples: ГОСТ 2.001, 2.102, 2.103, 2.051, 2.053, 2.503, etc.).

These topics reflect the standard's purpose of harmonizing the content and presentation of the technical-project stage across products and organizations.

Typical use and users

Used by design offices, engineering departments, project managers, CAD/PDM administrators, technical writers, conformity and documentation specialists, and regulatory/review bodies. Typical applications include preparing the technical-project deliverable for manufacturing, procurement, regulatory review, or further detailed design work (working design and documentation stages).

Related standards

GOST 2.120-2013 is part of the ESKD series and references or is used together with multiple ESKD standards, for example: ГОСТ 2.001 (general provisions), ГОСТ 2.102 (working design documentation), ГОСТ 2.103 (stages of design), ГОСТ 2.051 (electronic documents), ГОСТ 2.053 (information models), ГОСТ 2.503 (drawing registers), and others that govern drawing presentation, document types and electronic documentation practices.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 2.120-2013 is the ESKD standard that defines the content and requirements for the technical project (technical design) stage of design documentation. It replaces the earlier ГОСТ 2.120-73 and is a component of the Unified System for Design Documentation.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers what documents are required at the technical-project stage, the expected content of those documents (graphical and textual), rules for presentation and acceptance of electronic models/documents, and allows organizations to develop more detailed internal rules based on the standard.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Engineers, designers, CAD and PDM teams, technical document specialists, project managers, and regulatory or procurement reviewers who need a standardized technical-project deliverable.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of registry records and bibliographic collections, ГОСТ 2.120-2013 is active (действует). It was registered in November 2013 and took effect on 1 July 2015; it replaced ГОСТ 2.120-73. Users should verify whether any subsequent amendments or consolidated editions apply to their copy.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ESKD (Unified System for Design Documentation) family of standards (the ГОСТ 2.x series) and should be used in combination with other ESKD standards that govern drawings, document stages, electronic documents and registers.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Technical project, technical design, ESKD, design documentation, drawings, explanatory note, electronic model, ГОСТ 2.120-2013.
