NAICS 334514 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing totalizing (i.e., registering) fluid meters and counting devices. Examples of products made by these establishments are gas consumption meters, water consumption meters, parking meters, taxi meters, motor vehicle gauges, and fare collection equipment.
Start the review with products liability.
For Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, product recall, 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 are the primary end-use applications — utility metering, parking, fare collection, or vehicle gauges?
- Are products sold directly to municipalities or utilities under formal supply contracts with indemnification clauses?
- Does the company perform calibration, installation, or commissioning services in the field alongside product sales?
- What is the distribution footprint — domestic only, or international?
- Has there been any prior product recall or products liability claim history?
- What is the total insurable value of production equipment and finished goods inventory?
- For Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about products deployed in safety-critical applications such as natural gas metering where failure could cause bodily injury or explosion?
- For Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about significant export or international distribution, particularly to regions with less predictable legal environments?
