Standard Property Policy—Archived Article

July, 2001

ISO Commercial Property Program

Summary: The standard property policy (CP 00 99 10 00) of the Insurance Services Office (ISO) is designed for the risk for which coverage under the other forms of the commercial program is too broad. It may be thought of as a scaled-down version of the building and personal property form CP 00 10 10 00. Following is a discussion of the form, with differences between the building and personal property form and the standard property policy highlighted. Differences between the current (2000) and prior (1995) version are also noted.

Introduction

The standard property policy, CP 00 99 10 00, uses a different format from the rest of ISO's commercial property program in that the policy is a self-contained unit that includes causes of loss and applicable conditions. The building and personal property coverage form, CP 00 10 10 00, is a modular form to which causes of loss and conditions forms must be added. The CP 00 99 therefore provides a  simpler, less costly vehicle for insuring those risks for which coverage under the other forms of the commercial property program is too broad, or is unavailable. The CP 00 99 is not available for use in the states of Hawaii, Kansas, New York, or Vermont.

The CP 00 99 may also be used in conjunction with the CP 17 99 06 95—condominium association coverage endorsement—for a condominium association, or with the CP 17 98 10 00—condominium commercial unit owners changes—to provide coverage for commercial unit owners. It may also be used with the CP 11 99 06 95—builders risk changes—to insure buildings under construction. An overall rate credit of 2 percent applies. For rating information, see the commercial lines manual (CLM).
