In this case, we even have a Q&A for it...

There was some argument on CD. We could not figure out if glass beads in rope counted as "flexible" or "fiber".

No, glass beads are neither flexible nor a fiber.

In all likely hood, for the ROPE shown, glass beads are added as a fillet to some of the rope FILAMENTS. If this holes true, then we need to inquire, for all ROPES, if there is ridged filler in the filaments. Possibilities are talc, mica, and various other minerals. Manufactures rarely publish this info in their standard literature. Likely an MSDA will not be helpful either, IF it exists. Alternately, give the inspectors a microscope and we will do our best.

IMHO if there is a thing called ROPE that is part of a standard product, made by a ROPE manufacturer then it meets the ROPE test. If there is to be a ban on GLASS beads, in any form, Just say so. Like, the ban on metal (in any form).

This is not to say that I think that a rope that has been processed (by the team or others) to glue glass beads to the surface would be legal.
