Atharva Ropes

Ropes are subject to different safety, quality, and characteristic standards, per their application and the location(s) in which they will be used. ASTM International, for example, puts out standards in regards to the characteristics of stranded carbon steel wire rope used for general applications. In the European Union, ropes must have the CE mark. In the United States, rope used for emergency services must be certified by the NFPA (National Fire and Protection Association). Also, in the U.S., ropes used in the workplace must also meet the standard requirements of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). To learn about what safety standards your rope must meet, talk to your industry leaders and applicable governmental offices.
