Form-specific context

Distinguish this form from nearby requirements.

CG 20 10 is commonly discussed while the named insured's work is still in progress. The schedule, contract, project, and exact edition matter because the endorsement is not a generic certificate instruction. A certificate can report that an endorsement exists, but the issued endorsement and policy control the actual insurance contract.

Common points to separate

  • Ongoing operations is not the same time period as completed operations
  • A certificate of insurance does not replace the issued endorsement
  • Scheduled wording is not automatically blanket additional insured wording
Edition and date control

CG 20 10 is not a complete version.

The form number identifies a form family. The edition date, state filing, insurer modifications, schedule, underlying policy, and attached endorsements determine the document being reviewed. Do not describe two editions as equivalent without comparing the authorized forms.

  • Record the full endorsement identifier and edition date shown in the contract requirement and on the issued form; CG 20 10 by itself is incomplete version information
  • Do not assume an older edition, a newer edition, a carrier manuscript form, or equivalent wording provides the same scope
  • Confirm the insurer and state filing permit the requested edition or approved equivalent for the policy and jurisdiction
  • Read the endorsement with the declarations, underlying CGL coverage form, schedule, and every limitation or modifying endorsement
No policy interpretation

This guide organizes the review. It does not determine whether an endorsement grants coverage, satisfies a contract, or responds to a claim.

Broker decision path

Move from contract request to issued evidence.

  1. Is the contract asking for additional insured status during work, after completion, or both?
  2. Does the requirement identify CG 20 10, an edition date, a scheduled party, or acceptable equivalent wording?
  3. Is the person or organization named exactly on the issued endorsement and tied to the correct project, location, or operation?
  4. If completed operations are required, is a separate completed-operations endorsement such as CG 20 37 actually issued?
  5. Are primary and noncontributory status, waiver of subrogation, limits, notice, and duration separate requirements that need separate evidence?
  6. Does the issued policy contain exclusions or restrictions that change the promised additional insured result?

Scheduled additional insured endorsement associated with the named insured's ongoing operations, subject to the exact edition, schedule, policy, and limitations.

02

CG 20 37

A separate scheduled additional insured endorsement associated with completed operations. It should not be inferred from the presence of CG 20 10.

03

Certificate or verification form

04

Contract requirement

The commercial promise to procure specified insurance. Whether the issued policy satisfies that promise requires contract and policy review.

Information organized

Facts to prepare.

  • Scheduled additional insured name
  • Project or location when required
  • Named insured operations
  • Written contract requirements
  • Policy limits and related endorsements
Quality control

Review before using the form.

  • Compare the requested wording with the actual issued endorsement
  • Confirm that names, project, and location information are exact
  • Review the edition because wording and scope differ across editions
Edition, rights, and market boundary

A form guide is educational and does not interpret coverage, establish that a form applies to a specific policy, prove market access, create a risk submission, or authorize release of material to a market. Confirm the current edition, jurisdiction, policy, carrier, and form requirements with the authorized publisher and intended insurer. Use the insurer-issued endorsement or authorized Verisk access. Hedge does not publish the ISO file.
