Automobile construction codes

The automobile construction codes supported by Verisk Earthquake Model for Japan.

Note: Verisk Synergy Studio applies non-engineered building damage distributions to the following construction classes: 101, 102, 103, 104, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 173, 174, 178, 179, 261. This action occurs regardless of occupancy class, including the industrial facility (400-series) occupancy classes.
Note: While Coverage C (content) is not supported for most of the 200-series construction class codes, it is supported for Inland Transit (construction code 259) and for some other construction codes, such as tanks and pipelines. For the full list of supported combinations, refer to the Const. & Occ. Combin. tab in each model supplement.

For information about supported codes and limitations for specific models, refer to the model documentation that is available on the Client Portal (login required).

Construction code Category Description
261 Automobiles Typically a four-wheeled automotive vehicle designed for passenger transportation. These models provide separate damage functions for standard automobiles and for automotive dealerships. The automotive dealer damage function (construction class code 261 with occupancy class code 312 or 313) assumes that the majority of the vehicles are parked outside in the open. Accordingly, for a dealership with the majority of the cars outside and few inside, we recommend coding all this exposure with construction class code 261 and occupancy class code 312 or 313. However, if the majority of the cars are inside the dealership, for example, a dealership in a city in which there are a few cars in a showroom, we recommend coding the automobile exposure as Content Coverage C, and supplying the appropriate construction and occupancy class codes for the dealership itself. If you are also modeling the physical structure of the dealership, include the replacement value in the Coverage A field.
262 4-wheeler Typically a four-wheeled automotive vehicle designed for passenger transportation.
263 2-wheeler Typically a two-wheeled automotive vehicle designed for passenger transportation; may include a side car with a third wheel.
