What ASTM standard would be appropriate for testing the breaking strength of nylon ropes

Question

ASTM D4268-93 would appear to be the relevant testing standard, but this was withdrawn in 2002 and is no longer active. Is there a current standard?

Go directly to the ASTM site. I put "nylon rope" in search and it said there were 154 possibilities.

Probably ASTM A931 - 18  Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Wire Ropes and Strand
There are others  closely related but not exactly the same.

ASTM F3410 - 19  Standard Test Method for Testing Fiber Rope Used in Water Sports
ISO 3108:2017(en), Steel wire ropes — Test method
