GOST 12.2.087-83 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 12.2.087-83 — System of labour safety standards. Electric hoists. Passport. Specifies the required form of the passport (technical data sheet) for electric hoists, the set of documents that must accompany the hoist and the content of the acceptance certificate issued at delivery.

Abstract

This standard prescribes the model passport (technical documentation) for electric hoists, defining what information and documents must be provided by the manufacturer or supplier to ensure safe operation, traceability and acceptance. It was originally issued under the USSR standards system and later reissued/maintained in subsequent compilations of occupational safety standards.

General information

• Status: Originally in force from 01 July 1984; later reissued and amended; formally replaced (canceled) and superseded by a newer GOST in the 2020s (see Related standards / FAQ for replacement details).
• Publication date: 01 July 1984.
• Publisher: Approved under the State Committee for Standards of the USSR (Gosstandart); issued as part of the System of Labour Safety Standards (ССБТ).
• ICS / categories: ICS 13.100 (Occupational safety), related classification/OKS within lifting and hoisting equipment (53.020 / category references used in regional catalogs).
• Edition / version: Original GOST 12.2.087-83 (approved 1983, effective 1984); contains Amendment No.1 (1988); reissued in later compilations (reprints in 2001/2002 catalogs).
• Number of pages: Typically published as a short document (commonly shown as 6 pages in standard catalogs; some commercial reproductions list minor pagination differences).

Scope

The standard applies to electric hoists (тали электрические). It establishes the sample passport (data sheet) that must accompany each hoist, specifies the composition of the documentation attached to the passport and sets out the required content of the acceptance certificate issued upon delivery and testing of the hoist. It is focused on the documentation and information needed for safe operation and acceptance rather than detailed design or testing procedures.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized passport (technical data sheet) format for electric hoists (identification, technical parameters, serial numbers, certificates and markings).
• List and composition of documents to accompany the hoist (manuals, inspection records, certificates of conformity/acceptance where applicable).
• Required content of the acceptance certificate issued after factory tests and before commissioning.
• Information necessary for safe operation, maintenance and record-keeping (dates of manufacture, load ratings, safety devices, limits of use).
• References to applicable safety and lifting-equipment classifications within the labour safety standards system.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and suppliers of electric hoists use the standard to prepare the passport and accompanying documentation. Buyers, acceptance inspectors, maintenance personnel and occupational safety specialists use the passport and acceptance certificate during delivery, commissioning, routine inspections and safety audits to verify traceability, compliance and safe operating parameters.

Related standards

GOST 12.2.087-83 belongs to the GOST series on labour safety and lifting equipment. It has been published alongside other GOSTs covering hoists and lifting devices (for example other GOST 12.2.xx documents). In recent normative updates the 1983/1984-era passport standard was superseded in the national/regional catalogues by updated GOST(s) governing hoist documentation and safety — for example replacement by newer GOST 34022-2025 is recorded in catalog updates and normative databases (see national catalogs).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 12.2.087-83 is a national GOST standard from the System of Labour Safety Standards that prescribes the model passport (technical data sheet), the set of accompanying documentation and the content of the acceptance certificate for electric hoists (tali elektricheskie).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers documentation requirements — the format and minimum contents of the passport for electric hoists, what documents must accompany the equipment, and what information must appear in the acceptance certificate issued at delivery. It does not replace detailed design or full testing standards for hoists but ensures consistent documentation for safety and acceptance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and suppliers of electric hoists (to prepare passports and delivery documents), purchasers and acceptance inspectors (to verify delivery and acceptance), maintenance and safety personnel (for traceability and safe-operation information), and regulatory/catalog editors maintaining standards collections.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original GOST 12.2.087-83 was issued and used from 01 July 1984 and was maintained with amendments (notably 1988) and reprints. Regional normative catalogs and databases indicate that it has been replaced/canceled in national practice by newer GOST(s) (for example catalogs record replacement by GOST 34022-2025, with cancellation effective from 01 January 2026 in those listings). Users should check the current national catalog or standards authority for the definitive in-force document in their jurisdiction.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the GOST 12.2 family and the broader System of Labour Safety Standards (ССБТ), which groups standards on lifting equipment, hoists and occupational safety documentation and procedures.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Electric hoist; passport; acceptance certificate; occupational safety; lifting equipment; GOST 12.2; documentation.
