Cordage Institute's Strategic Goal and Objectives

Strategic Goal:

Global standardization of testing methodologies for cordage and derivative products (slings, nets, etc.) to create a means for end users to assess, confirm, and make an informed decision on cordage properties.

Primary Objectives:

1. Identify and develop test procedures where there should be a standard approach - e.g. Break Strength, Elongation, Yield, Breaking Length, Reduced Recoil, Diameter Measures, Tension Fatigue, Moisture Content, Specific Gravity, Abrasion Resistance

2. Promote the use of Cordage Institute standards as a foundation for ISO and national standards

3. Support standardization and regulatory agencies with Cordage Institute standards, guidelines, and member involvement

4. Inform membership of worldwide standardization and regulatory activities  

5. Promote transparency and communication of Cordage Institute activity through direct correspondences and social media tools

6. Maintain a working relationship with Eurocord to coordinate efforts

7. Empower manufacturers to advance environmental stewardship

8. Promote safer use of rope and netting products
