Full title and description

GOST 28388-89 — Системы обработки информации. Документы на магнитных носителях данных. Порядок выполнения и обращения (English: Information processing systems. Documents of magnetic media. Order of realization and circulation). The standard establishes rules for the preparation, formatting, accounting, storage, modification and circulation of technical and project documents recorded on magnetic data media.

Abstract

GOST 28388-89 sets requirements independent of specific exchange or processing technologies for documents stored on magnetic media (design, program, technological and other project documents). It defines document types (original, authentic copy, duplicate, etc.), metadata and marking, procedures for certification and verification sheets, rules for amendments and versioning, and archive/accounting practices for magnetic carriers.

(Summary bibliographic and status data compiled from public standards registries and electronic libraries.)

Scope

The standard applies to the preparation, registration, accounting, storage, reproduction, amendment and circulation of documents executed on magnetic data carriers used in information processing systems. It is intended for construction/design documentation, software documentation, technological documentation and other project records recorded on magnetic media; it also specifies which documents are not subject to microfilming and gives general archival and procedural rules.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of document types on magnetic media (original, authentic copy, duplicate, working copy, etc.).
• Rules for the content and layout of identifying metadata, main inscriptions and certification/attestation sheets for magnetic‑media documents.
• Procedures for registration, accounting, numbering and archival identifiers of magnetic volumes and files.
• Requirements for storage, handling and reproduction of magnetic carriers and for conditions ensuring document integrity.
• Rules for introducing changes, issuing revisions and recording amendments to documents on magnetic media.
• Requirements that are independent of specific exchange formats or hardware; interoperability and documentation management principles are emphasized.

These topics reflect the standard’s emphasis on lifecycle control (creation → approval → circulation → archival) of documents stored on magnetic media.

Typical use and users

Used by technical documentation departments, archives, engineering and IT groups responsible for document management, software development teams producing program documentation on magnetic carriers, manufacturing and design organizations that store project or technological records on magnetic media, and auditors/records managers who must ensure compliance with established archival and circulation procedures.

Related standards

GOST 28388-89 references and is used alongside other GOST standards for documentation and information systems — examples include ISO 8613-1:1989 (when cited as a normative reference in some catalogs), various ESKD/USPD/GOST documentation standards (for example GOST 2.102, GOST 2.004 and related documentation practice standards) and other information‑systems standards such as GOST 34.201‑89 and GOST documents on storage and data carriers. These related standards address drawing/document formats, documentation completeness, archival practice and information‑system terminology.
