Full title and description

GOST 2.610-2006 — Unified system for design documentation. Rules for making operational (exploitation/operating) documents. The standard sets requirements for the content, structure and presentation of operational documentation for machinery and instrumentation (manuals, passports, labels, part catalogs, maintenance and repair instructions, spare-parts lists, etc.).

Abstract

GOST 2.610-2006 defines unified rules within the ESKD (Unified System for Design Documentation) for preparing and presenting operational documents that accompany mechanical and instrument products. It describes which documents are considered operational documentation, the required sections and information (purpose, technical characteristics, description and operation, maintenance and repair guidance, packaging and marking, spare parts data), and basic formatting and content requirements to ensure consistency and usability for production, operation and maintenance.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / ceased application on the territory of the Russian Federation (replaced by ГОСТ Р 2.610-2019).
• Publication date: Introduced 1 September 2006 (registered 2006; editions printed 2007).
• Publisher: Developed / published under the authority of the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) as part of the ESKD system (interstate standard).
• ICS / categories: 01.100 (Generalities; Technical drawings / design documentation).
• Edition / version: Designation GOST 2.610-2006 (original 2006 text; editorial publication dates noted in 2007).
• Number of pages: Approximately 39–41 pages depending on the publisher/print edition.

Scope

Applies to the preparation and presentation of operational (exploitation/operating) documents for products of mechanical engineering and instrumentation, including: operation manuals, installation and commissioning instructions, run-in and adjustment instructions, passports, form records, labels, part and assembly catalogs, spare‑parts consumption norms, spare‑parts and accessories lists (ZIP), special operational instructions and compilation of lists of operational documents. The standard establishes which sections such documents must contain and the information required in each section.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of operational documents (what documents belong to the set and their intended purpose).
• Required document structure and main sections (title, designation, purpose, technical characteristics, composition, description and operation, tools and measuring instruments, marking and sealing, packaging).
• Instructions for operation, maintenance and current repair: contents, step sequences for troubleshooting and repair, and required safety/precautionary information.
• Requirements for passports, labels and part catalogs (minimum data, designation, reference to drawings, materials and parts lists, and numbering rules).
• Formatting and presentation rules consistent with ESKD conventions (titles, numbering, references to other ESKD standards for drawings and document presentation).

Typical use and users

Engineers, technical writers, documentation specialists, quality and compliance departments, manufacturers of machinery and instrumentation, maintenance organizations and certification bodies use the standard to produce consistent, compliant operational documentation that supports safe operation, maintenance and servicing of products. Regulatory authorities and conformity assessment bodies reference the standard when assessing documentation for conformity with technical regulations.
