GOST 33290-2015 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 33290-2015 — "Материалы лакокрасочные, применяемые в строительстве. Общие технические условия" / "Paint materials used in building. General specifications". The standard establishes general technical, safety and environmental requirements for paints, varnishes and related coating materials used for interior and exterior finishes of buildings and structures.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard defines scope, classification, technical requirements, sanitary‑hygienic limits, test and acceptance rules, storage and transport rules, and application guidance for decorative and protective coating materials used in construction (concrete, reinforced concrete, plaster, brick, metal, wood, etc.). It is intended to harmonize requirements for construction paint and varnish materials and to set basic safety and environmental limits.

General information

• Status: Introduced (implemented as a GOST / interstate standard); established for first-time use and adopted for voluntary application in the Russian Federation.
• Publication date: Approved 06 July 2015; date of introduction (entry into force) 1 March 2016.
• Publisher: Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart); developed by Technical Committee TC 195 (Paint and Coating Materials).
• ICS / categories: ICS 87.040 (Paint and varnish industry).
• Edition / version: First issued as GOST 33290-2015 (2015 edition; introduced 2016).
• Number of pages: Approximately 24 pages (electronic/print formats reported).

Scope

The standard applies to paints, enamels, varnishes, primers, fillers and other paint-and-varnish materials used in construction for external and internal finishing of buildings and structures of various substrate types (concrete, reinforced concrete, plastered, brick, metal, wood, etc.). It sets out classification, principal technical requirements, methods of testing and rules for acceptance, transport and storage, as well as sanitary‑hygienic and environmental safety requirements relevant to construction use.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of construction paint-and-varnish materials (paints, enamels, varnishes, primers, fillers) and coatings by service conditions (atmospheric, limited atmospheric, interior use).
• General technical requirements for composition and performance (adhesion, durability, water resistance, vapor permeability, resistance to wet abrasion where applicable).
• Sanitary‑hygienic limits and permissible migration/ emissions of harmful substances, including guidance on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous components.
• Safety and environmental protection requirements for manufacture, application, storage and disposal.
• Rules for sampling, test methods and acceptance criteria; packaging, labeling, transportation and storage conditions.
• Guidance notes on application and guarantees from the manufacturer.

Typical use and users

Used by paint and coating manufacturers, quality and testing laboratories, construction material specifiers, architects and engineers, building contractors, certification and regulatory bodies, and procurement specialists preparing technical specifications and acceptance criteria for coatings in construction projects. The standard provides baseline technical and safety requirements for specification and conformity assessment.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 33290-2015 is an interstate (GOST) standard titled "Paint materials used in building. General specifications" that sets general technical, safety and environmental requirements for paint-and-varnish materials applied in construction.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification, principal technical properties, sanitary‑hygienic and environmental requirements, sampling and test methods, rules for acceptance, transport and storage, and application guidance for coatings used on typical building substrates (concrete, brick, metal, wood, plaster, etc.).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of paints and coatings, test laboratories, specifiers and procurement teams in construction, architects and engineers, regulatory authorities and certification bodies. The standard is intended to be used where consistent baseline requirements and safety limits for construction coatings are needed.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 33290-2015 was approved 06 July 2015 and put into effect on 1 March 2016; it replaced the earlier national standard GOST R 52491-2005 for the indicated subject area. Public listings show it as introduced/in force; if precise current legal status is required for regulatory or procurement purposes, verify with the official Rosstandart registry or national standards body because databases and catalog listings may vary.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It forms part of the set of interstate/national standards addressing paint and varnish materials and building finishes and references other GOSTs for specific test methods, classification and terminology (for example GOST 9825, GOST 28246 and related documents). It is a general/specifying document intended to be used alongside product-specific standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Paints, varnishes, coatings, construction, VOC, sanitary‑hygienic requirements, test methods, acceptance, primers, enamels.
