ORGANIZATION PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
In 1853, the Railways were introduced in India and with their expansion through the
twentieth century, several company managed and state-owned railway systems grew up. To
enforce standardization and co-ordination amongst various railway systems, the Indian
Railway Conference Association (IRCA) was set up in 1903 followed by the Central Standards
Office (CSO) in 1930, for preparation of designs, standards and specifications. However, till
independence, most of the designs and manufacture of railway equipment was entrusted to
foreign consultants, but with Independence and the resultant phenomenal growth in
country’s industrial and economic activities leading to increase in the demand for rail
transportation, there was a complete shift in emphasis in the field of design & manufacture.
Consequently, a new organization called Railway Testing and Research Centre (RTRC) was set
up on 1st September,1952 with its headquarter at Lucknow for testing and conducting
indigenous applied research in railway technology. Later on, Central Standards Office (CSO)
and the Railway Testing and Research Centre (RTRC) were merged into a single unit and thus
in 1957; Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO) came into being as an attached
office of Railway Board.
The status of RDSO has been changed from an ‘Attached Office’ to ‘Zonal Railway’ with effect
from 1st January, 2003.
FUNCTIONS
RDSO functions as a center for acquisition, absorption and development of new technology
and upgradation of existing technology for the Indian Railways. RDSO is specifically entrusted
with the following mandate:
Final authority on all technical matters pertaining to Indian Railways & its
sister Organizations, including approval of Technical Specifications and
Standardization.
Research & Development of New and Improved Designs/Technology.

time, and corrective actions taken within each of the top-level processes.
Note: Not all activities are considered “processes” – the term “process” in this context
indicates the activity has been elevated to a higher level of control and management
oversight.
The following top-level processes have been identified for RDSO:
