I dont think it will become an ACOP in its present form, but if they produce a guide to good rigging practice, as mentioned, that probably will.

That is a serious document, most was recently published in the ISA mags, also a lot of it is in the rigging books. I think the document is invaluable to guys and girls who have just got the tickets and are being asked to setup rigging systms they may not understand or why they have to do it. Need to go and fell a few trees just to print the damn thing off

To the best of my knowledge the research for the rigging is going to be published as the ACOP. I was informed of this by the guys at Treevolution when i did my LOLER course.
