GOST 2.104-2006 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ 2.104-2006 — Единая система конструкторской документации (ЕСКД). Основные надписи. English title: "Unified system for design documentation. Document title block." The standard defines the forms, sizes, nomenclature of fields (requisites) and the rules for placing and filling the main title block and its additional fields on engineering drawings, diagrams and related design documents under the ESKD system.

Abstract

This interstate standard (GOST) specifies the graphical form(s) (form 1, 2, 2a, 2b), layout, line types and the content and order of filling the main title block and additional fields used in paper and electronic design documents. It provides mandatory geometry and content rules intended to ensure consistent identification, versioning and traceability of design documentation across organizations that apply ESKD rules.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn/ceased in the Russian Federation (replaced by the national standard ГОСТ Р 2.104-2023; usage in RF ended 01 March 2024). Note: in some catalogs or other CIS jurisdictions the 2006 interstate text may still be listed for reference or legacy use.
• Publication date: 1 September 2006 (date of entry into force).
• Publisher: Interstate standard (GOST) approved by the competent standards authority; original development attributed to VNIINMASH / organizations participating in ESKD work. (Adopted/introduced by the relevant standards authority in 2006.)
• ICS / categories: 01.100 — Technical drawings (ESKD family).
• Edition / version: ГОСТ 2.104-2006 (2006 edition; contains subsequent amendments available as corrigenda/changes).
• Number of pages: 18 pages (typical published text length for the 2006 edition).

Scope

The standard applies to the main title block (основная надпись) and additional graphs used in ESKD-design documentation: it sets forms for title blocks on drawings, schemes and for text-design documents (first/cover sheets and subsequent sheets), prescribes location (usually lower right corner), required and optional fields, recommended zone marking of drawing fields, and rules for entry of identification, material, approval and change-history data. It is intended for both paper and electronic formats of design documentation under the ESKD rules.

Key topics and requirements

• Specified title-block forms (Form 1 for drawings/schemes; Forms 2, 2a, 2b for text documents and subsequent sheets) and exact geometry for placement of fields.
• Mandatory location of the main title block — bottom right corner of the sheet (orientation rules for A4/A3 formats).
• List and numbering of fields (graph numbers) with prescribed content for each graph (name, document designation, material, sheet number, approvals, change history, inventory/registration numbers, etc.).
• Graphic execution rules: line types and thickness according to ESKD (connection to ГОСТ 2.303 and related drawing standards).
• Recommendations for dividing the drawing field into zones (letters and digits) to facilitate locating parts on multi-sheet drawings.
• Provisions for using the title block in electronic documents and for adapting to organization-specific needs while preserving mandatory requisites.

Typical use and users

Applied by design offices, mechanical/electrical/architectural engineers, CAD administrators, technical documentation specialists, manufacturing and quality departments, archives and contract reviewers who prepare, approve or exchange design documentation following ESKD conventions. It is used to ensure consistent identification, version control and archival metadata across engineering documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 2.104-2006 is an ESKD (Unified system for design documentation) standard that defines the structure, forms and rules for the main title block and additional fields used on engineering drawings and related documents.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the graphical layout (forms), sizes, required and optional fields (requisites), filling rules, placement on the sheet (typically bottom-right), and related recommendations such as zone marking and line types for title blocks on both drawings and text-design documents.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Engineers, draftsmen, CAD managers, technical writers, manufacturing and quality personnel, and document control/archival staff who produce, check or store ESKD-format documentation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of 01 March 2024 the 2006 interstate standard has been withdrawn for use in the Russian Federation and superseded by the national standard ГОСТ Р 2.104-2023; the 2006 text remains a historical/interstate document and may still appear in some catalogs or be used for legacy reference in other jurisdictions. Always check the applicable national/regional status before applying it.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one of the ГОСТ 2.xxx series standards forming the ESKD system (document designation, drawing requirements, title blocks, line types, dimensioning, etc.). Related documents include ГОСТ 2.102, 2.105, 2.109, 2.201, 2.301, 2.303 and others.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Title block, main inscription (основная надпись), ESKD, drawing format, document requisites, form 1/form 2, document identification, ГОСТ 2.104.
