Full title and description
GOST R 21.1101-2013 — "System of design documentation for construction. Main requirements for design and working documentation" (Russian: «Система проектной документации для строительства. Основные требования к проектной и рабочей документации»). The standard sets rules for the composition, formatting and handling of project and working documentation within the Russian System of Project Documentation for Construction (SPDS).
Abstract
GOST R 21.1101-2013 defines general principles and mandatory rules for preparing, formatting, numbering, registering and modifying both textual and graphical design and working documents for construction projects. It covers title blocks and forms, document composition and compilation (volumes, tomes, sheets), rules for amendments and versioning, and references to other SPDS and ESKD/format standards used in Russian construction documentation practice.

Scope
The standard applies to project (design) and working documentation prepared for capital construction works (new construction, reconstruction, expansion, technical re-equipment and major repairs). It establishes the format, required content and ordering of documents within a project set, rules for title sheets, covers, tables of contents and composition lists, numbering and designation rules, registration and storage requirements, and rules for introducing and recording changes to documents.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and general provisions for SPDS documentation composition (project vs. working documentation).
- Required document structure: cover, title page, contents, composition lists, textual and graphical parts.
- Formats and forms for main title blocks and standard forms for registers and tables.
- Marking, designation and numbering rules for documents, tomes and sheets.
- Rules for recording, approving and registering changes (versioning, stamps, tables of changes).
- Requirements for graphical presentation (line types, dimensioning, level marks) and cross-references to ESKD/GOST graphic standards.
- Requirements for accompanying normative and reference documents and for document handover to the customer or archives.
Typical use and users
Used by architectural and engineering design organisations, project document controllers, construction contractors, state expert review bodies, and archive/records units involved in preparation, review and storage of construction project documentation in Russia. It was commonly used as the reference for preparing sets of working drawings and textual design documents under the Russian SPDS rules.
Related standards
Part of the SPDS family of standards; closely linked to other SPDS / ESKD standards such as GOST R 21.1001, GOST R 21.1002, GOST R 21.1003, and numerous graphical/format standards (for example, GOST 2.303 and related ESKD rules). GOST R 21.1101-2013 replaced the older GOST R 21.1101-2009 and was itself superseded by GOST R 21.101-2020 (new SPDS requirements effective 01 January 2021).
