GOST 1136-81 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ 1136-81 — «Изделия трикотажные бельевые. Определение сортности» (English title often rendered as "Knitted underwear articles. Determination of grade"). The standard specifies rules and criteria for determining the sort (quality grade) of knitted underwear products (men's, women's and children's knit undergarments) including classification of defects and allowable deviations used for acceptance and quality grading.

Abstract

GOST 1136-81 defines the procedure to assess and assign sort (grade) to knitted underwear items produced from various knitted fabrics. It lists defect types, inspection and sampling rules, allowable limits for visual and dimensional faults, and gives criteria used by manufacturers, inspectors and procurement agents to classify products into grades (first sort, second sort, and non‑sortable/reject). The standard was developed under the USSR light‑industry authorities and formally introduced in the early 1980s.

General information

• Status: Introduced as a national GOST in 1981/1982; commonly listed in GOST databases as the active/operative document replacing GOST 1136‑72 and with subsequent textual amendments in the 1980s. Some registries present it as the replacement edition (взамен).
• Publication date: Approved 30 March 1981; date of introduction into force 1 July 1982.
• Publisher: Developed by the Ministry of Light Industry (USSR) and approved by the State Committee for Standards of the USSR (Gosstandart).
• ICS / categories: Clothing industry / textile products — ICS 61 (specifically ICS 61.020 for clothes, which covers underwear, nightwear and knitwear).
• Edition / version: Designation GOST 1136‑81 (the "‑81" indicates the year of the standard's approval). The document received textual amendments published in 1986 and 1988.
• Number of pages: Vendor and normative listings show 14–15 pages (catalog listings vary; typical archival copies list 14 pages while some distributors list 15).

Scope

Applies to knitted underwear articles made from all types of knitted fabrics for men, women and children. The standard's scope covers visual and dimensional assessment procedures to determine sort (grade) and provides criteria for acceptable and non‑acceptable defects that affect grading. It is intended for use in production quality control, inspection at acceptance, and in procurement acceptance testing where GOST‑based grading is required.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology related to sort (grade) of knitted underwear and defect nomenclature.
• Classification of defects (appearance, structural faults, pattern/run issues, color defects, marks/spots, seam and finishing faults) and rules for counting and categorizing them.
• Acceptance and grading criteria for first sort, second sort and non‑sortable items (limits on number/size/location of defects that determine grade).
• Sampling and inspection procedures — how many items/samples to inspect and how to evaluate a batch for grading.
• Dimensional and appearance tolerances relevant to knitted undergarments (general allowed deviations and examples of non‑conformance such as pattern displacement, stitch defects, and dye specks).
• Normative references to related standards governing sewing requirements, test methods and measurement procedures that are used in conjunction with the grading rules.

Typical use and users

Primary users are knitted garment manufacturers, factory quality control departments, inspection and testing laboratories, procurement/acceptance officials (including military and institutional buyers in jurisdictions that reference GOST), and customs or certification bodies that use GOST criteria for acceptance or classification of knitted underwear products. The standard is used to establish batch acceptance criteria, internal QC rules and supplier conformity checks.

Related standards

GOST 1136‑81 lists and references several normative documents for garment requirements and test methods, for example GOST 10399‑87 (requirements for sewing of knitted underwear) and GOST 26006‑83 (methods for determining visible/hidden damage in knitted fabrics), among others. It replaced or updated earlier edition GOST 1136‑72. Users commonly consult these related GOSTs when applying grading rules.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 1136‑81 is a Soviet/Russian national standard that sets out how to determine the sort (quality grade) of knitted underwear items — i.e., the rules for visual and dimensional inspection and the defect criteria used to classify knitted undergarments into grades.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers knitted underwear for men, women and children, providing definitions, lists and classifications of defects, allowable limits and the procedures for sampling and grading batches as first sort, second sort or non‑sortable (reject). It also refers to related standards for sewing and test methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and factory quality departments, inspection labs, procurement officers, and certification/customs bodies that accept or reference GOST rules for product acceptance and grading.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is commonly listed in standards catalogues as the 1981/1982 edition (GOST 1136‑81) and shown in many normative databases as the operative replacement of GOST 1136‑72, with textual amendments recorded in the 1980s. Catalog entries from standards distributors mark it as active or operative; however, users should verify the current regulatory status for specific jurisdictions or procurement rules because national adoption or replacement by later national/regional standards is possible.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of Soviet/Russian GOSTs covering knitted and underwear products and is cross‑referenced with standards for sewing, fabric test methods and related apparel requirements (for example GOST 10399‑87 and GOST 26006‑83). The designation pattern (1136‑81) indicates the 1981 edition in the GOST numbering series that deals with knitted underwear.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Knitted underwear; sort (grade); defect classification; acceptance criteria; visual inspection; knitted garments; GOST 1136‑81.
