If you're sure it's been well-cared-for it might be safe to use, but I would be very hesitant to use it, especially with groups of less-experienced climbers who may be depending on your judgement and assume that any equipment you provide would be safe to use. This gives some information about what your rope might be, but again, you can't know 100% for sure what it is until you figure out who bought it, and they figure out what they bought. Note that in all cases these are static ropes. It's not clear to me whether your rope is a "technical use" rope or a "general use" rope, but the standard calls for a minimum strength of 20 kN for the former and 40 kN for the latter. I couldn't find a free copy of the 2001 standard, but in the 2012 edition the following performance requirements are specified: The tag you found seems to imply that this rope meets the specifications of the 2001 edition of NFPA standard 1983 for a life safety rope. I did a bit of research and it appears that NFPA 1983 is a standard for ropes used in technical rescue, similar to UIAA ratings for climbing ropes.
