New on WSRB: WSRB/WIEB Position Papers: We are excited to announce the introduction of a new reference tool, the WSRB/WIEB Position Papers. These are detailed discussions that the Washington Surveying & Rating Bureau (WSRB) and the Washington Insurance Examining Bureau (WIEB) have held when multiple (and differing) interpretations have come to our attention regarding various rules. They will be available on the Members page via the Documents/Request dropdown on the menu bar. Please take a moment to check the out the first one (2009 -01), a discussion regarding Office Business Personal Property Theft Relativities for Special Causes of Loss on specifically rated buildings with no published Office CSP Code. If you have questions, please contact us through the ?Ask WSRB? email form. We will research your issue and get your questions answered!
