Dyneema was banned not because of strength issues, but because of issues with being compromised or cut all the way through by chafe. Joe Coquina

Typically it is the race associations but other associations such as ABYC set standards too. Oddly enough there is little to ensure that the updated standards are continually met for the recreational cruiser. Periodic insurance surveys or race inspections are about the only thing that would alert an owner to a "non-compliance". Personally I try to be aware of the risks and make educated decisions. As such I have installed dynema lifelines and have been very happy. In my case I chose to up size the lines as large as possible and yielded a rated strength that is 3 times that of the original wire. Thank you Josh
