Electronic Computer Manufacturing
NAICS 334111 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing and/or assembling electronic computers, such as mainframes, personal computers, workstations, laptops, and computer servers. Computers can be analog, digital, or hybrid. Digital computers, the most common type, are devices that do all of the following: (1) store the processing program or programs and the data immediately necessary for the execution of the program; (2) can be freely programmed in accordance with the requirements of the user; (3) perform arithmetical computations specified by the user; and (4) execute, without human intervention, a processing program that requires the computer to modify its execution by logical decision during the processing run. Analog computers are capable of simulating mathematical models and contain at least analog, control, and programming elements. The manufacture of computers includes the assembly or integration of processors, coprocessors, memory, storage, and input/output devices into a user-programmable final product.
Start the review with products liability.
For Electronic Computer Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, property, workers' compensation. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What types of computers or systems are manufactured — consumer, commercial, industrial, ruggedized, or custom?
- What are the primary end-use environments for finished products — enterprise IT, government, medical, defense, or general commercial?
- What is the approximate annual sales volume and how broadly are products distributed?
- Does the operation involve branded finished goods, contract/OEM assembly for other brands, or both?
- Are there any prior product liability claims, regulatory actions, or voluntary recalls in the loss history?
- How dependent is the operation on a small number of component suppliers, and what is the exposure if a key supplier is disrupted?
- For Electronic Computer Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about products sold into critical-use environments such as medical devices, avionics, military, or industrial control systems where failure consequences are severe?
- For Electronic Computer Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about history of product liability claims, recalls, or government regulatory actions related to hardware defects?

Establishments in this class manufacture, assemble, or integrate electronic computers — including servers, workstations, laptops, and mainframes — by combining processors, memory, storage, and input/output components into finished products. Operations typically involve light-to-medium assembly work on industrial or clean-room premises, with finished goods warehoused and distributed to commercial, enterprise, or government customers. Some operations focus on contract assembly for OEM clients rather than branded end products.
