Rope should be labelled at both ends with "CUCC", the year of first use and the rope length. Rope will typically be retired after 5 years and one expo. The exception to this is where we have guidance from the manufacturer that the rope will last longer and drop testing results indicate the rope is OK.
Rope should be chained only when it is washed and checked. Dirty or unchecked rope may be coiled. Rope should be washed, checked and measured at the end of each expo.
