Indian Railway has set up the norm that the steel girders for bridges must be of a 3,000 MT workload for BRI I/c – and Placebo Fabtech ensures that its product can bear the same workload per annum. RDSO is the sole R&D organisation of Indian Railways and functions as the technical advisor to Railway Board Zonal Railways and their production units. They certify vendors to deliver as per the standards for materials and products especially needed by Indian Railways. For fabrication, Indian Railways have 80 vendors certified by RDSO, in which, two are from Hyderabad, Telangana.

The RDSO certification is for a period of five years, where the audit will be performed again for re-certification.
