- OIPEEC is an international association of people with an interest in the endurance and other aspects of rope technology, including selection, degradation, inspection, and discard.
- OIPEEC was established in 1963 and currently has over 130 members from 30 countries.
- OIPEEC organises meetings every second year to discuss issues of relevance to ropes. These meetings, which are open to non-members, alternate between a small Technical Meeting, and a much more extensive Round Table meeting.
- OIPEEC offers every four years (at the Round Table conference) an award for papers written by young researchers on their investigations relating to rope endurance.
- OIPEEC publishes a Journal twice a year, one edition in June and another in the December. The journal, which is registered as an International Serial publication and available from a number of major national lending libraries, publishes technical papers in the field of rope research and reports the activities of the organisation.
- The language used for publications and meetings is English.
- Occasional Copies of the Journal and Round Table Proceedings can be purchased by non-members, but the only mechanism by which to obtain regular copies is to become a member of the organisation.
