The Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) is a government agency responsible for standardisation, metrology, and conformity assessment in Rwanda. It was established by the Government of Rwanda under Law N° 50/2013 of 28 June 2013 determining the mission, organisation and functioning of the Rwanda Standards Board.

The RSB was created from its predecessor, the Rwanda Bureau of Standards (RBS), which was originally established under Law N° 03/2002 of 19 January 2002. The restructuring in 2013 separated regulatory enforcement functions, including inspections and legal metrology verifications, into an independent body, allowing RSB to focus on standards development and conformity assessment services.
