Who provides the Catalog Breaking Strength (CBS) of a rope?

Catalog Breaking Strength comes from the rope manufacturer. The manufacturer designs the rope, performs standardized tests on representative samples, and sets the breaking strength value published in the product catalog. That CBS is the official specification users rely on when selecting rope and applying safety factors. Rope workers may use the value in practice, and suppliers may share the catalog data, but they don’t determine the CBS themselves. Industrial inspectors verify compliance and condition, not establish the catalog number.
