Hello Ed,
Try sending your query to <i...@gost.ru> (which appears on their website
homepage).
You can access GOST's pages (in Russian) by selecting their acronym
"GOST" on the Safety Link <www.safetylink.com>
Unfortunatel, their English language link does not appear to be functional
yet.
Regards, Art Michael
