Insurance premiums

Typology and cost allocation

Property damage and Business interruption:

The insurance covers property damage that results from a sudden and unforeseen event (accident, fire, machinery breakdown, natural catastrophe). The following property is covered: buildings, machinery / equipment, inventories. It is also aimed at compensating the insured for the financial loss and/or indirect cost suffered as the result of the non-availability of the production tool, consequently to a property damage, in order to keep the company in the same financial situation it would have been in, if the property damage had never occurred

The premium is reported under heading R25460 - Period non-proportional costs of production.

For legal entities not having manufacturing plants, heading R27900 - Miscellaneous production or R33310 - Administrative costs (non-functions) are used depending on the situation

Liability insurance:

This insurance covers damages caused to third parties.

  1. « General & Product liability » (CGL, Casualty)
  2. « Environmental Impairment Liability » (EIL, Pollution)
  3. « Directors’ & Officers’ Liability » (D&O)
  4. « Employment Practice Liability » (EPL)
  5. « Pension Trustee Liability » (PTL)

The origin of a liability claim is mainly due to manufacturing error; the premium thus can be attributable to production costs. A liability claim can also be the result of a disagreement with a third party. It is therefore difficult to clearly distinguish what portion of the premium is related to production costs

The premium is reported under heading R25460 - Period non-proportional costs of production.

For legal entities not having manufacturing plants, heading R27900 - Miscellaneous production or R33310 - Administrative costs (non-functions) are used depending on the situation
