The Designation Clause in Fire Insurance<\/span><\/b>\u2014also known as the <\/span>designation of property clause<\/span><\/b>\u2014ensures that the insurer accepts the way insured property is listed in the insured\u2019s books for claim purposes. In other words, whatever property head (e.g. Building, Plant & Machinery, Electrical Installations, Wiring, Furniture) under which an asset is recorded in the insured\u2019s accounts, the insurer agrees to treat it as the designated coverage category at claim time. This clause provides flexibility and reduces risk of disputes over classification at the time of loss.<\/span><\/p>\n
