Breaking strength is the point at which the rope fails, not the safe working load. For general lifting, a 5:1 safety factor is standard; synthetic ropes like PPM typically use 5:1 to 7:1. For lifting people, a stricter 10:1 applies.

Keep in mind that knots can reduce rope strength by 35 to 50%, while a properly executed splice retains 80 to 90% of the original strength. For critical applications, splicing is the stronger choice.

This PPM cord is designed for dog leashes, horse tack and craft projects. It is not certified for climbing or for lifting heavy objects above people or animals.
