Overview of Changes

Many of the ISO changes have already been adopted in insurance company forms while other changes represent clarification of the “intent” of the form.

There are many instances where there is no change in “intent” of coverage. What this means, typically, is that the language of the form has been modified by adding or removing a word or substituting a word that is clearer.

Overview of Changes

Some changes result in a coverage increase typically in a sub-limit that is provided.

Some changes result in coverage being reduced for example removing an extension or sub-limit that appeared in a prior edition date.

We MUST notify if a reduction has occurred

Dependent Properties in the Supply Chain (Business Interruption)

Dependent Property Coverage is written by scheduling the business locations that the insured is “dependent upon” and have chosen to insure.

The new endorsement allows for secondary dependencies. An example provided by the ISO of a secondary dependency is a

situation in which the insured’s supplier (a dependent property identified in the schedule of the current endorsement) is unable to deliver products/services due to interruption in the business of an entity (for example, a manufacturer) upon which the supplier depends but was NOT a supplier that the insured directly depended upon or was identified in the endorsement.

27

Page 28: Community Webinars

www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com

Dependent Properties in the Supply Chain (Business Interruption)

The new option for covering secondary dependencies is focused on contributing and recipient locations as defined in the form. (List on form)

Business Income losses arising out of physical loss or damage at the secondary location is subject to the same Limit of Insurance that applies to the scheduled dependent location and does not increase the coverage.

The coverage territory is reiterated on the form to avoid any confusion that the coverage goes beyond the stated territory of the policy for example for locations outside of the United States.

28

Equipment Breakdown CP 1046

New Cause of Loss form for Equipment Breakdown that is compatible with the Special Cause of Loss Form.

Currently in the Special Cause of Loss Form there are three major categories of exclusions that relate to equipment breakdown: artificially generated electrical current; mechanical breakdown; explosion of steam boilers…

By use of this new endorsement those exclusions are eliminated.

There are limitations specific to Equipment Breakdown coverage that is then added in the form language.

29

Page 30: Community Webinars

Equipment Breakdown

Ammonia Contamination and Hazardous Substance amounts of insurance can be scheduled on the form.

Because of the introduction of the new Equipment Breakdown Form, the ISO has also introduced the Suspension or Reinstatement of Coverage for Loss Caused by Breakdown of Certain Equipment to allow the insurance companies to either suspend or reinstate coverage for certain pieces of equipment.

30

Page 31: Community Webinars

Food Contamination (Business Interruption and Extra Expense

This new option covers extra expenses and business income loses arising out of food contamination and pertains to the Business Income And Extra Expense Coverage Form. Coverage is limited to loss of income/extra expense due to the closure of the business.

Covered expenses include: cost of cleaning equipment; cost of replacing food; medical testing and vaccination and advertising expense.

31

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

This endorsement is as a result of the landlord/tenant business risks relating to the rental of the property.

While the landlord may enter into a lease that holds the tenant responsible for damages arising from a variety of causes, the insurance contract is not intended to compensate a landlord for the expected consequences of usage of the rental premises as intended.

32

Page 33: Community Webinars

www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

One example provided by the ISO in explanation would be when a premise is leased for use as a restaurant and there is damage from the residue of the cooking operation. This is deemed a business risk innate to the occupancy not loss compensated by insurance.

33

Page 34: Community Webinars

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

This question becomes much more interesting and complex when the property is rented for illegal purposes such as the rental of premises that is used as a methamphetamine laboratory in which the damage from methamphetamine “cooking” operations can be likened to the residue from cooing operations in a restaurant.

Needless to say there are many issues at the heart of this discussion that goes beyond the coverage issue such as: did the landlord know about the operation; should the landlord have known about the operation and so on.

34

Page 35: Community Webinars

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

A case in point that the ISO used in their circular was the Graff v. Allstate Insurance Company, 113 Wash, App.799; 54P.3d 1266 (Wash, Ct. App.2001). In the case the insured filed a claim for cleanup expenses after a tenant’s methamphetamine laboratory damaged his rental house and the insurer denied the claim citing the policy’s contamination exclusion.

35

Page 36: Community Webinars

www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

The insured sued and the trial court held in favor of the insured finding that his insurance policy covered the cleanup expenses. The appellate court affirmed the lower court’s decision and stated that the operation of a methamphetamine laboratory is vandalism and therefore covered under the policy. Thus both the contamination and vandalism issues came into play.

36

Page 37: Community Webinars

Exclusion of Loss due to By-Products of Production or Processing Operations (Rental Properties)

The Insurance company, (plaintiff), contended that coverage is not intended to extend to the inevitable effect of a production operation which is emphasized in the language of the Special Form. As a result of this case and similar claims, the ISO has introduced this endorsement to be attached to all polices issued to owners and tenants of rental property.
