GOSTSTANDART was initially drafted by the Soviet Union in 1925 and then revised after the WW-2. As the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991 GOST Standard was then maintained and managed by EASC, and adopted by many CIS countries with some provincial rules added.

Recently, GOST Standard has been approved by ISO as a local standard in Russian Federation and CIS countries and is therefore quite similar to EN/CE normative. Presently the following countries use GOST Standard with some individual additions. Please note GOST-R is valid only for Russian Federation and will not be or may not be accepted in CIS countries. There are similar, but independent regulations in each CIS country.
