A DAY IN THE LIFE
PMI ropes and equipment are built and independently certifi ed to applicable national and internationally recognized standards, and as added confi - dence our own quality assurance program is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Registration. Our in-house laboratory is built to the same specifi cations as independent laboratories, and works twice as hard.
Although we have the tools to meet the standards in-house, all the real research and development begins in the fi eld. Customers and employees who use PMI gear provide the foundation for our product development. Our rope and gear become practical solutions, not just the current fad.
For you and your customers, we offer several resources of interest. To fi nd out more or to get involved in the standards and organizations that not only keep the gear you use safe, but most importantly, keep people safe, check out the list below.
PMI is actively involved in all of the committees and professional organizations listed below. We do stay busy, but quality is all in the details. Each re- source helps bring a safer PMI rope or piece of gear to the person using it. Plus the best bonus of all, each committee and organization gives back to the community of rescuers and climbers and we couldn’t be more proud of that - not only as a manufacturer but as users too.
A day in the life of a PMI rope can be challenging, but commitment to excellence is always our goal. If you ever have any questions regarding PMI rope, gear, standards, technical questions or inputs, please feel free to contact us anytime.

All implied warranties imposed by law in connection with the sale of PMI products are also lim- ited in duration to a period of one year. PMI expressly excludes and shall not be liable for any consequential damages arising out of any breach of the express or implied warranties on sales of PMI products.

Regulations issued under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act require us to include the following statement: some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts nor the excluding or limitation of incidental or consequen- tial damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
