               many classes of insurance. The most notable
               example is engineering insurance where the major
               part of the premium relates to the provision of
               inspection services to comply with the Factories Acts
               and other statutory safety regulations.

               Although for other classes of insurance, inspection
               of premises, plant, systems of work, etc may be
               carried out primarily to provide insurers with
               information they need for underwriting purposes.
               Insurance surveyors are also an important
               independent source of advisors. Sometimes the
               provision or continuation of insurance cover is
               conditional upon surveyor's recommendations.

               Insurers providing engineering insurance have
               extended their service to cover nondestructive testing
               of plants and materials, the inspection of second-
               hand plant prior to purchase, advice on plant
               installations, testing and commissioning of new
               plant, etc.
