GOST 12.2.007.1-75 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 12.2.007.1-75 — Система стандартов безопасности труда. Машины электрические вращающиеся. Требования безопасности. ("Occupation safety standards system. Rotating electric machines. Safety requirements"). The standard sets out occupational-safety requirements that apply to the design and construction of rotating electrical machines to reduce hazards to personnel during operation, servicing and maintenance.

Abstract

This short standard establishes general safety requirements for rotating electric machines (motors and similar rotating electrical equipment), addressing protective measures, design features and marking and documentation necessary to ensure safe operation and maintenance. It is part of the GOST occupational safety series for electrical equipment.

General information

• Status: Active / in force; the limitation on the period of effectiveness was lifted by Protocol No. 3-93 (March 3, 1993).
• Publication date: Approved 1975 (designation -75); many catalog listings show a published/entry date of 01 January 1978 in collections/catalogues.
• Publisher: Approved by the State Committee for Standards (Gosstandart) of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.
• ICS / categories: Electrical engineering / occupational safety; part of the GOST occupational safety standards series covering electrical equipment (GOST 12.2.007.x).
• Edition / version: Original designation -75 (1975); later amendments/notes recorded in catalogues (e.g., Amend. 3.84 is referenced in some listings).
• Number of pages: Typically listed as 5 pages in international/catalogue entries.

Scope

Applies to rotating electrical machines and sets general safety requirements for their design and construction so as to prevent injury and occupational hazards to personnel during normal use, foreseeable misuse, maintenance and repair. The scope is limited to safety aspects of rotating electric machines rather than detailed performance or testing procedures, which are covered by separate technical standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Design requirements to minimise mechanical and electrical hazards (enclosures, guards, guards for rotating parts).
• Insulation, earthing/grounding and protective conductor provisions to prevent electric shock.
• Requirements for protective devices and electro‑protective measures (where applicable).
• Marking, warning signs and documentation (safety instructions, operating and maintenance information).
• Access, maintenance clearances and safe means for servicing (lock-out/tag-out style provisions implied in occupational safety context).
• Temperature limits, ventilation and prevention of overheating where relevant to safe operation.

These topic areas reflect the standard's role within the GOST occupational safety series for electrical equipment.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and designers of electric motors and rotating machinery, occupational-safety engineers, compliance officers, maintenance teams, test laboratories and procuring organizations that require documented evidence of conformity with Soviet/Russian occupational-safety norms. The standard is used as a design and safety-reference document rather than a performance specification.

Related standards

Belongs to the GOST 12.2.007.x family (examples: GOST 12.2.007.0-75 — Electrical equipment. General safety requirements; other parts of the 12.2.007 series addressing transformers, converters and specific equipment). Also referenced by and cross-referenced with national technical standards for rotating machines (for example GOST 183-74 and later related GOST/R standards and technical conditions).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 12.2.007.1-75 is a Soviet/Russian occupational-safety standard that sets general safety requirements for rotating electric machines (motors and similar equipment).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design- and construction-related safety requirements intended to protect personnel from mechanical and electrical hazards during operation and maintenance (enclosures, protective measures, marking and documentation). It does not replace detailed technical performance standards for motors.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, safety engineers, maintenance and service personnel, compliance officers and procurement organizations working with rotating electrical machines or following GOST occupational safety rules.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Catalogues and national databases list GOST 12.2.007.1-75 as in force (status: active), and the time-limit of effectiveness was removed in 1993; however, in practice manufacturers and regulators may also reference later and regionally updated standards (GOST R variations and technical regulations). For specific legal applicability in a given country or project, check the current national standards registry.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the GOST 12.2.007 series of occupational-safety standards for electrical equipment (other parts address transformers, converters and specific device classes).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Rotating electric machines; occupational safety; machine guarding; electrical insulation; earthing/grounding; safety marking; GOST 12.2.007.1-75.
