Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing
NAICS 335314 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing relays, motor starters and controllers, and other industrial controls and control accessories.
Start the review with products liability.
For Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, product recall and product withdrawal, property. 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 industries for the manufactured controls — general industrial, power generation, aerospace, medical, or other safety-critical applications?
- Is distribution primarily domestic or does significant export activity exist?
- Does the operation involve custom-engineered or software-integrated control systems, or primarily standard catalog products?
- What is the scope of on-site testing operations, and does any high-voltage or hazardous environment testing occur?
- What does prior products liability and recall loss history look like?
- Are there any contractual indemnification or additional insured obligations imposed by OEM or distribution customers?
- For Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about products supplied to safety-critical end-uses such as power generation, nuclear, aerospace, or medical equipment?
- For Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior products liability or product recall losses involving downstream equipment damage or personal injury?
