III. FOREWORD

Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO) is an attached office of

Ministry of Railways, engaged in design and standardization of equipment for
use on Indian Railways.

RDSO/ SPN specification is issued as draft specification. This specification is

circulated to customers/ Railways and field inspection units for comments.

RDSO/ SPN along with comments received from various quarters is discussed
in Telecom Standards Committee Meeting (TCSC). Recommendation made by
TCSC is put up to Railway Board for approval. After approval from Railway
Board, the specification is given an IRS number and issued as Indian Railway
