Full title and description
GOST 34.201-89 — "Information technology. Set of standards for automated systems. Types, sets and indication of documents for automated systems creation" (Russian: ГОСТ 34.201-89 «Информационная технология. Комплекс стандартов на автоматизированные системы. Виды, комплектность и обозначение документов при создании автоматизированных систем»).
Abstract
This standard defines the types, names, required content (completeness) and designation rules for documents produced at the stages of creating automated systems (AS). It is part of the GOST 34 series addressing information technology and automated systems documentation and design processes.
General information
- Status: Replaced / superseded (listed as ЗАМЕНЕН); later edition in the GOST 34.201 series (see replacement GOST 34.201-2020).
- Publication date: Approved 24 March 1989; came into effect 1 January 1990 (original USSR approval/issue in 1989).
- Publisher: Approved by the State Committee for Standards (Gosstandart) of the USSR; published by Izdatel'stvo standartov (Standards Publishing House) / later commercial reprints.
- ICS / categories: Office and information technology documentation area (OKC/ICS classification references shown in commercial catalogs; listed under 35.240/related IT documentation groups).
- Edition / version: Original 1989 edition (effective 1990); referenced reprints/collections in subsequent compilations; officially replaced by a 2020 revision of GOST 34.201.
- Number of pages: Approximately 10–11 pages depending on edition/scan (commercial and archive listings show 10 or 11 pages).
Scope
The standard applies to automated systems used across management, research, design and related application areas, and establishes what documents are to be produced at the stages of AS creation (as referenced by stage definitions in GOST 34.601). It specifies document types, the recommended content sets (completeness) and rules for document identification and designation.
Key topics and requirements
- Classification of document types produced during AS lifecycle (design, technical, explanatory, operational documentation).
- Required composition (completeness) for each document type — what sections or annexes are expected.
- Rules and recommended formats for document designations and identifiers (system and subsystem naming conventions).
- Informative and normative appendices: terminology clarifications and recommended designation rules for systems/parts.
- Integration with the broader GOST 34 series (references to stages in GOST 34.601 and related documents).
Typical use and users
Used by systems engineers, IT architects, project managers, technical authors and documentation specialists preparing lifecycle documentation for automated systems in industry, research institutions and government organizations. The standard has also been used as a template for technical documentation examples and sector-specific documentation sets in Russia and CIS countries.
Related standards
Belongs to the GOST 34 series (information technology / automated systems). Closely related and cross-referenced documents include GOST 34.601 (stages of AS creation), GOST 34.301, GOST 34.602-89 (technical assignment formats), and earlier standards that GOST 34.201-89 replaced (e.g., parts of the GOST 24 series). The entry is cataloged in many standards collections and has been formally replaced by a later GOST 34.201 revision (2020).
