(June 2019)
This chart is a simple comparison between the three causes of loss forms available with the 10 12 edition of the Insurance Services Office (ISO) Commercial Property Program.
The term “Not Covered” is used when the particular item is not specifically addressed in the causes of loss form. The term “Excluded” is used when the particular item would have been covered except for a specific exclusion in the causes of loss form. The term “Included” is used when an item is specifically excluded but due to a specific coverage form exception it is no longer excluded.
